Just Talks [√]

[ mom says i'm straight ]

"Do you like him?"

I don't know.

"What do you mean you don't know?"

I'm confused.

"Confused of what?"

My feelings.

"What?"

It's all warped up right now.

"What do you mean?"

Forget it.

"Come on, tell me."

I said forget it.

"Just tiny details."

Quit it, okay? Let's not talk about it.

"Well, whatever it is, I'm sure it's going to be just fine."

Does questioning your sexuality count as fine?

"What?"

I guess not.

"Wait, what?"

Forget it.

"You just can't forget about stuff like that."

Stuff like what?

"Critical decisions about one's identity."

You can, if you choose to.

"It'll come back around eventually and bother you."

If that time comes, maybe I'll be brave enough to make decisions.

"What about now?"

Let me be indecisive. It's freeing.

"What difference does it make in the future?"

I may not be so free anymore.
