Vent

Vent

A Poem by XxArmyBratxX

I need to vent
to clear my head
these voices inside
are stripping me dead.

He always says to go
but then says stop
you can do this
but you need to do that.

I'm sorry I'm not perfect
that I'm one of a kind
that I cut my hair
and live in a different time.

I'm sorry I'm gay
that I'll never love a guy
that I'm going into the army
and that you can't see this through my eyes.

I'm sorry I want to be a trooper
and not a common woman
I won't sit at home
and care for children

I will have a job
and support myself
I don't need a man
because I'm strong enough myself.

You were a kid once
and weren't perfect at all
you were worse than I am
and continue to fall.

No I'm not a girly girl
that's my sister not me
I like to wrestle
and hangout with the guys.

I'll never be a cheerleader
and I may not be a man
but honestly, dad
I can do what they can.

Loosen up
give me a shot
if you don't 
our relationship with continue to rot.
