Graysexual

What it feels like to be the 1%.

By Kittyface27Published 5 years ago 1 min read

Gray is me

I am gray

In the public eye, I fade away

Mostly alone

Nobody knows

I am different

But tears never flow

I am alone

But myself feels like home

Even if the gray is not something I chose

I do feel unwelcome

I am not the same

Sometime people forget what I am has a name

Gray is an umbrella, but so very small

The world is 1% all in all

I am gray, but proud to be this way

Proud and looking forward to a certain day

When the gray is accepted

Accepted and known

When I no longer feel all alone

When gray is a color and not a shade

I will feel my true self is conveyed

No love does not make me lonely

I am happy I love no one and nobody loves me

Simple will be life I hope

Someday I could change, but I think that I won't

Gray is simple but also complicated

But acknowledgment by the world would be appreciated

Undervalued, and not well known

My identity is never shown

Someday I’ll meet others, I know in my heart

And with those I am proud to be a part
