Chorus
Loving her
is not a choice that I've made.
It's not a decision.
And it's certainly not a phase.
It's not a conscious effort.
Not something I try to do.
It's just the way it is.
And you know she loves me too.

Verse 1
You can tell me it's wrong
til you're blue in the face.
You can say that I'm falling
from the Lord's saving grace.
But please tell me this;
In all beliefs and all faiths;
Whichever gender you love,
where does it ever say to hate?

Chorus
Because loving her
is not a choice that I've made.
It's not a decision.
And it's certainly not a phase.
It's not a conscious effort.
Not something I try to do.
It's just the way it is.
And you know she loves me too.

Verse 2
If you take my love away,
I want nothing in this life.
Nothing could ever pacify
or begin to suffice.
Oh the tears to be shed.
The blood to be bled.
If you try to take my love,
consider what I've said.

Chorus
Because loving her
is not a choice that I've made.
It's not a decision.
And it's certainly not a phase.
It's not a conscious effort.
Not something I try to do.
It's just the way it is.
And you know she loves me too.

Verse 3
Taking her from me
would be more than you bargained for.
It gives a whole new meaning
to the term love is war.
If you insist on going there,
then go ahead, and you'll see.
My love for her is stronger
than your hate for me.

Chorus
Because loving her
is not a choice that I've made.
It's not a decision.
And it's certainly not a phase.
It's not a conscious effort.

And you know she loves me too.

It's just the way it is.
And you know she loves me too.

It's just the way it is.
And you know she loves me too.

Loving Her

Verse 1
I had a dream
Then I dreamed it loud.
I knew the silence
was soon to break out.
I kept it quiet
for so damn long.
And the whole damn time
I knew it was wrong.
This dream could be life.
Make me do something too.
This dream must mean something,
cause without it, I'm you.
There are walls to push through.
And buttons to push too.
If you're not pushing buttons,
they'll forget about you.
Another basic face.
Man, what a waste.
Could have been so much more
than a bride in some lace.
I could have been that.
But man forget that.
I'd do so many things
before I'd consider that.

Hook
There's a long road ahead.
But I'm willing to go.
I got a lot to prove.
And a lot to show.
If I don't start now
then I'll never know
how to do it on my own.
How to prosper and grow.

Verse 2
You can weigh me down
but it will only make me stronger.
Smack me around,
then I'll stand a little taller.
Take me to the ground.
When I get up, I'm a baller.
As I get further ahead
you get smaller and smaller.
Step on cracks in the sidewalk.
They say don't test your luck.
If you believe in that shit
then you're dumb as fxxx.
Cause I walked my way up.
All the way to the top.
If I waited and listened
every time they said stop,
I'd have gotten nowhere.
And nowhere is no fun.
I like it better up here,
up here next to the sun.
If I turn back now
I'd have nowhere to run.
I don't want to go back.
My life's finally begun.

Hook
The road never ends.
And that's the fun part.
But you'll never get the wins
if you don't even start.
As I move through this life
I'm gonna lead with my heart.
To do anything else
would just cause a restart.

Dreams

Verse 1
I'm just a plain and simple girl,
but not really though.
You see I'm nonbinary.
Yet I still know how it goes.
Expectations. Part of life.
Have a job, and pay the price.
Then go home and exercise.
Be the perfect kind of prize.
But we've come a long way.
And yeah I meant to say we.
Because I had to play the part,
and as a woman you must please.
But then there came a fine day
when I admitted I was gay.
And I said fxxx all of that shit.
No longer out here playing games.

Chorus
I won't submit.
That's it. I quit.
I'm coming out
with some new tricks.
See now I'm lit.
My flow so sick.
Shit pumps me up.
I'm so legit.
Yeah, I'm on fire. Said I'm on fire.
You try to put me out, but my flames just get higher.
Said I'm on fire. I AM THE FIRE.
You rain on me. I light you up. Don't need no lighter.

Verse 2
I don't need a lot of time
because this won't take long to say.
If your listening ears are on,
then hear me out. Yeah it's ok.
When you look at me and think
"Is that a boy? Is that a girl?"
Ask yourself another question.
Could there be some hidden world?
A world where everything is neutral,
and everything is mutual.
You look at me and think that
being both is not unusual.
It's natural. It's classical.
It's everything at once.
You know it's rational and factual
and also much more fun.
So you can ride along with me.
Or you can just stand in my way.
But I don't advise the latter
cause I'm bustin down the gates.

Chorus

Verse 1
Make it make sense.
We were always having fun.
Had myself convinced
that all the hard parts were done.
But now I look back,
and I think the hard parts won.
They took a bit of my soul.
Now all I do is run.

Chorus
I run and I run.
And I've gotten pretty fast.
Thought I was far ahead
just to realize I'm in last.
Because I took a bunch of shortcuts
while wearing a bunch of masks.
I flew by you like a blur.
I was gone like The Flash.

Verse 2
Where did I even go?
I was there, but not really.
How could I even know?
When my mind was always reeling.
Can you tell? Does it show?
That I'm scared of all the feelings.
Now I have to go slow
cause the floor feels like the ceiling.

Chorus
I run and I run.
And I've gotten pretty fast.
Thought I was far ahead
just to realize I'm in last.
Because I took a bunch of shortcuts

I was gone like The Flash.

Verse 3
There are things I should know.
Things I should remember.
But I raced through it all.
January to December.
Year after year,
all the flames turn to embers
before I've even looked back.
To reflect felt like surrender.

Chorus
I run and I run.

Thought I was far ahead

About Me

Bio

I love to write. I write poetry, song lyrics, kids stories, whatever i feel like writing at the time really. I listen to music pretty much whenever I can. I mainly listen to rap and R&B and hip hop. I like pop music and even some folky music. I don't lean into country much, but I've heard some that I can connect with. I feel anyone can connect with anyone on at least one level. Music is often that one level people can connect on. I'm hear to show what I write, and to take requests. I love a challenge. I can play guitar very amateurishly, and ukulele in the same way. The drums are my favorite, but I don't have access to any.
