SUMMARY: Yeah, being queer is complicated. But we can't let that drag us down.

WORD COUNT: 100+

A/N: Another poem I wrote for that poetry contest... Lol. But this is the one that I didn't send sooo-

What's normal?
People telling you to be this way or that
Gender, sexuality, everything in between
Who am I?

I know who I like; I know who I am;
The feelings spreading through me, a battering ram
But I try, still I try
I want to get it all out, out right now

Silently walking through the school hallways
Slouched down, not wanting anyone to suspect
Do I really want to stay this way?
No; but how do I change?

Friends, love, relationships, all changing around me
An ocean of emotions
Trying to figure out my place

Slowly, it dawns; I'm not alone
Others have walked this path before me, tried to let other people know
Now I just have to let myself be free

Years ago, people couldn't be themselves; now, they can
People accepting, tears, happiness
Smiles on their faces

So what does it matter that I don't know who I am?
What does it matter that I'm complicated?
Because every single person is different
And being "normal" was overrated anyway
