years i spent,
never knowing what the word
"love" really meant
or how it really felt like
- just
knew that it was spelled

l o v e

and that my parents
apparently still possess it
seeing as they've been married
for 20 years now;


years i spent,
falling into society's trap of
believing that homosexuality
is a "sin"
and that i would be punished
for being one
when maybe, it is me who is
the lesbian all this time.


all this time i spent
waiting for a prince charming
to come sweep me off my feet
when maybe i should be waiting
for a princess charming
to come take my hand and
lead me to happiness;


all this time i spent
crying, getting jealous,
frustrated, hating and
blaming myself when i should have
stopped denying who i am and
started accepting myself.





[i still don't know who i am
or where i belong,
but i know that someday
true love will find me
and i'll be
ready for it.
]
It's true, I don't know who I am... I can tell you that I'm not straight. Whether or not I really am gay, that I will have to be honest with myself... :shrug: Someday, I'll know.
