A short journey into the sensitive...

[ampriskitsune]

Would you then?

Would you see me if I looked as I should?
dressed as I should?
primped, polished, and teased as I should?
dressed to the nines for others enjoyment; frilly, stiff...maybe even in pink...
blended in with the cornecopeia of clones society shows me?
Would you see me then?

Would you hear me if I spoke as I should?
said words you already knew?
gave ideas you had already thought?
traded in free thinking for conformed, canned, by your book views...even if they are not my own
professed to feel just as you do?
Would you hear me then?

Would you like me if I didn't shock you?
didn't stand out with my views?
didn't expand your thinking?
fit into that little checkmarked box in your mind...though I must ignore the rest of me to do it...
didn't make you consider just once you may be wrong?
Would you like me then?

Would you love me if I were as you wanted me?
thought as you wanted me to?
spoke as you wanted me to?
made myself the cookie cutter perfect girl you wanted me to be...even if it kills me inside...
if I shut up myself to be YOUR self?
Would you love me then?

Or...maybe...just maybe...if I were myself...
flawed, rejoicing, ouside your scope...
HAPPY, COMPLETE, and DIFFERENT...
let myself just be ME, let you see the real me...even if you didn't agree with it or understand
not within your imagination and blooming on my own...
Could I still be your daughter then?
