as young people
we question sexuality
our sexuality
their sexuality
your sexuality
it’s a cycle
a constant coming out
but we are young, and we have time
but we don’t talk about it
i’ve been putting it off
i felt like i was lying
to myself
to you
because we race to find labels
we need to be this or that
always making discoveries
not knowing that
the self is a p r o c e s s
we cannot morph ourselves to fit a mould
as perhaps society would like us to
be straight
be gay
hOw ArE yOu Bi If YoU’rE wItH a BoY?
stop checking boxes!
labels help to sort our confusion
but who decides what is proper
and what is not?
the checkboxes will only show
that you are all of everything
and you can be straight,
or gay
or ace
or ace
who “likes ‘em both”
so come,
sit a minute
and let’s grab a coffee
and talk of boys and girls
and everything in between
Be there for one another
as we perpetually self-discover
