Benjamin Twine

He Please

He was scared

He was confused

What did this mean?

There was no excuse

For how he felt

For how his heart

Seemed to go out toward

This handsome and smart

Boy right in front

Of his reddening face

There was no explanation

For his heart's race

Maybe just a glitch

In his mind's smooth system

But that was the day

The boy knew

He was gay and

There was hope.
