Out Of The ClosetA Poem by Sanbino Rodriguez-White Love is love, and those that think less are wrong...
I was always afraid to be myself...
I put on a mask and played someone else... I was afraid that I would be shunned and made a mockery... I know I liked girls but also I guys... I couldn't hide it although I tried... They all made fun, they called me names... I was a tool, inside their game... I was 11 one day in class, I was sick and tired of being harassed... So I stood up and I could proudly say... I'm Bisexual I'm not just gay... They all got quiet, but I could hear their screams... They didn't try to get near me... I had no friends and no support... It's just a phase, I heard of course... I told my parents, to my dismay... They didn't approve they said the same... They said stop acting, it's not game... So I bit my tongue and stood in vain... Was I so different, was I this impure... I thought love was love, but I'm unsure... Was I a burden, Was I a pain... Was it a phase, to hide my pain... But not I'm 19 I'm still the same... Love is still love, it's all the same... My heart still beat, my lungs still breathe... I still have a brain, like most living things... I'm not at all broken... I'm not at all impure... Although times not frozen, people still disagree... They say there is no place in this world... For people like me, but that's not true.. We are still equal, This is just the prologue... Soon will come the Sequel... © 2018 Sanbino Rodriguez-WhiteReviews
