I told him I wasn't interested,
which is a scary thing to tell a man.
A man with power
A man with strength
A man who can get a lawyer whenever he wants.
I told her I wasn't interested,
which is a dangerous thing to tell a woman.
A woman with words
A woman with followers
A woman who has an army of "feminists" at her disposal.
I told him I liked him,
which is a stressful thing when you aren't a girl.
A guy with popularity
A guy with friends
A guy who you don't know the sexuality of.
I told her I liked her,
which is a brave thing when you aren't a boy.
A girl with talent
A girl with emotions
A girl who is probably straight.
Each one of them scoffed at me.
Each one of them called me names.
Two of them called me a slur.
Two of them rolled their eyes
Not one of them took into account how it made me feel.
How it made me think.
Not one of them thought about how panicked I was.
How it made my anxiety skyrocket.
I just want someone to love me.
I wish someone could love me.
I guess I'm unlovable.
