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
no
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.
