not like the rest

Finally finding myself

By Carly SmithPublished 4 years ago β€’ 1 min read

ive questioned a lot

throughouht my childhood

why do i look at girls

more than boys.

when i was young,

it never occured to me

that i could like girls.

because,

it wasnt socially acceptable

for a kid to know

her sexuality.

because everyone else

would be unoriginal

and say its a phase.

my "phase" has lasted 8 years now.

queer is what you can say

i am.

unlabeled

and unbothered

by those who are uneducated

and those

who cant love

adn accept everyone.

because homosexuality

isnt in the bible,

but loving everyone

for who they are,

is.

surreal poetry
