Accept Me

I like boys
But I also like girls
Not sexually
But romantically
No, it is not a phase
No, I'm not confused
It is who I am
And I wish more than anything I could tell you
But you refuse to accept
Accept that people can love other people
Believe in love
Love is love
Love is beautiful
I am bi-romantic and coming with terms to accept myself
Why can't you accept me?

You continue to stay true to God
Or so you think
Yet if you really read the Bible and understood
You would realize you were doing everything wrong
How can you cut your hair short
Yet say girls who cut their hair too short look like boys
How can you look at me in the face
And tell me to love and respect everyone
When you don't do the same?
Tell me
Why don't you respect everyone like you tell me to do?

All I really want
Is to be comfortable
In my own skin
To be open with my true identity
But how could I do such a thing?
Your sweet little daughter
You're girly girl
You always wanted me to be that
I should like boys
And only boys
Because it's right
If you really truly cared about me
Why am I not allowed to love
Whoever I want to love
If it makes me happy?
I thought you would always support what made me happy
Maybe I was wrong

I know you would like to stay in your fantasy forever
Where I am your small baby girl
Forever
Never growing up
Always wears dresses
Only likes boys
Listens to pop and Christian and country music
Like a good little girl
Like everyone else
Your perfect straight daughter
Who should not have sex
But should give you grandchildren
But here's the reality check

I like boys
But I also like girls
Not sexually
But romantically
No, it's not a phase
No, I'm not confused
It is who I am
And I wish more than anything I could tell you
But you refuse to accept
Accept that people can love other people
Believe in love
Love is love
Love is beautiful
I am bi-romantic and coming with terms to accept myself
Why can't you accept me?
