I am watching your face, I listen closely to your words. I think I know the answer, But I wait and watch; just in case.
Friends all say that I look the same, They say that must mean I am fine. I smile and nod and play the game, It is easier to just pretend.
But the truth is I must try very hard, Or they will know I am not the same. They are fearful of that knowledge, So I continue to play the game.
Their ignorance makes me angry, Although I try not to let it show. But they make me feel defensive, There is so much they don’t know.
As friends and loved ones protect themselves, I have been forced to play the game. I wish you could love me unconditionally, And quit expecting me to be the same.
It just seems that if you had my injury, I wouldn’t ask you to be a star. I would be thankful for our time together, I would accept you for who you are.
You see I was searching for acceptance, But it has eluded me for many years. It was hard for me to accept my changes, While I was busy calming your fears.
