Poems Of Plenty

Pansexual Journey

Fourteen years of age
You would think I would know
That all the girls I'd liked many years ago
Were signs I wasn't straight, but no.
I was dumb, foolish, and stupid

For a while I liked no one,
I thought I never would
Like anyone again, although I knew I should.
I never knew that I could
Like women, men, and everything in between

Fifteen years of age
I got my first girlfriend
She mainly helped me realize
Girls are more than just friends

And so my thoughts began
Am I lesbian, bi, or pan
I still liked guys but they always ran
Some of them hot but not many
At my school at least, I didn't like any

Later in the year
I broke up with her
I realized she was not the one
Because I already found another
I don't believe in cheating
So I stopped the old so there'd be no competing

Sixteen years of age
I start to feel less fem
I realize I am non binary
And prefer to use they/them
This, for now, is the end
