Why can't I be me
By: Larry Callahan

It seems I must change who I am for the sake of not being forsaken by all who claim to love and care about me.
But why must I change isn't love supposed to accept all within it?
If somebody loves you, shouldn't have to change for that love to fit in place.
I've made it throughout my life just fine untill myself just wasnt good enough.
But why must I change, what if what I change into isn't enough still?
Then I'm stuck with somebody I've never known.
Regardless of everyone elses personality and ways I've never asked them to change.
Do they lack what is commonly known as acceptance?
But why must "I" me personally, change?
When I'm most certain to change them, would be like extinguishing the sun.
But the sad part of it is, if I dont change, I face the backs of many that I love and care about.
So despite how I lived my life, I must change because I am an addict to love and not able to make it alone.
Who knew love was the heaviest drug there was.

What is love
by: larry callahan
what is love, but a voluntary torture chamber
you choose how badly you want to be hurt
you choose how far it goes
what is love but a tease
It would seem that everyone is given allotted time till their lonely and sad
what is love but pain and misery thats masked by false hope that somebody actually cares about you
what is love but a cruel game somebody plays with you that f**ks you up in the end
what is love, I really dont know, all i know is the pain and suffering it causes
so beware when you dabble in love, I didnt.
