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.
