Strip Tease

Stop looking at me!
Turn your head
And look away!
I'm not a freak;
I'm not crazy.

You have your life;
I have mine.
I choose my style;
You choose yours
It's our right.

You think I'm different,
Well, I am
By my own choice.
I don't live
For the sake of others.

I won't stare at you;
I won't laugh or sneer.
You live by your choice
And your style.
Your problems are your own.

You spend your whole life
Dispensing a country of ignorance.
Yet look at you now
Staring at me so!
Leave me alone.

Find another front
To hide you anger behind!
We're all in this to the end.
Take a look in the mirror
Before you judge me again.
