ok..to get deep for a second and i cant believe im sharing this with strangers... Who Will Love Me As I Am from SideShow.
When I saw this number in the show I emotionally lost it and was sobbing uncontrollably.
When I was growing up and knew I was "different" I was scared of growing up alone and being alone. Not knowing what the "difference" in me really was, I was scared to let my feelings be known so I put on a brave front even though I was dying inside. I mean how many 8 yr olds do you know that want to die just so no one will find out they are different than others? Of course, I grew older and finally understood my difference was that I was gay. I felt I would grow up being alone.
Fortunately, I realized that while my difference existed, I wouldnt have to be alone in life because there were others out there like me. I wasn't the only one.
But still, when I hear the song, the feelings I felt as a child resurface and it brings back a lot of memories.
Call it a regime change...
