THE LONGING You want to dance in the rain Out in the open But the looks that one

gets Make you want to hold back You want to build sandcastles Out on the beach But the looks that one gets Make you want to hold back You do not like crowds You want to go where you will not be bothered But you can't get away You've got to be there For the crime is too high There is so much that you would like to do But the looks that one gets Make you want to hold back It hurts you deep down inside When they look at you that way Like you've done something most horribly wrong When all that you've done Is to be all of yourself Yet no laws have been broken So you do your best to avoid those looks But as time passes on You are screaming inside You want to get out You want to be all of you But you know that you can't It will hurt a lot more So you hold back Only letting all out you out When you know that it's safe
