holding hands, not holding hands

 it’s part of the game we play 

not by choice 

but by force

 thats what society as in hand 

but ironically those hands stay holding 

molding and molding whats acceptable

 and whats not

laughing and loving then suddenly we stop 

not that we want to 

but almost a red light telling us we have to

 or else we’ll cause an accident, a coalition of some sort

holding hands

little laughs of conversation 

right as we go in front of them 

“oh my god, haha i know exactly what you’re talking about and looking at”

 as we hear those words from the back of our heads it takes all i have in me not to flip the fuck out  

but then i think is it really worth it 

will they just be winning if i react? 

or if i turn around will they admit their words?

 so many questions and scenarios run through my mined

but what is the answer?

still holding hands

 looking down at the ground 

when someone stares they’re not looking at us though, not as regular people 

 they look at our hands  the same hands that apparently look so different 

when they’re not holding her hand  i want to stand up for her and myself but  then i get scared.

now our hands are apart 

they have won once again 

anger boils within me 

i want to punch society in the face 

with my hands

 the hands that don’t want to be afraid anymore

 the hands that want to hold my GIRLFRIEND’S hand  with out the weird stares, dirty looks, or disrespectful laughs

its just a human hand  why is it that some just don’t understand

 wel

l that’s societies fault at hand.
