In German
There's no hiding.
From your parents, your friends
You must define the gender of every person you're talking about.
So, if there's boys coming
To a sleepover at your house,
You have to specify
Or lie to your parents face.
This has never been a problem for me
As I have no interest in boys
Platonically. not really
as friendships with boys always seem to be on quicksand
If you try to hard
You'll lose them
And sexually, firstly ew secondly no
But when told to describe our ideal partner
German, period 2
The choice is layed clearly out in front of me
Der or die
Partner or Partnerin
And I only have a few seconds to decide
As I have to say my answer
In front of the 4 boys that consist of my German class
In the middle of an all boys school
With a teacher that's too young to feel like they have enough life experience to fully fill the divide between teacher and pupil
And I'm afraid that she'll try and correct me
Because that would be the worst case senario
Saying "nope I think your mistaken, you can't like girls"
You must follow der traditionelle Familien formen
So I give in and say der
Because I'm sick of coming out
Every new person
Every time
Just have to clarify.
Maybe if I wore my rainbow flag every day
It would clarify things
But you never know
Some people are just dumb.
And some people are just scared
Like me.
Notes:
Hey, I don't know if I've made it obvious yet, but I'm def not straight. This actually happened in German. I'm still facing that dilemma to come out to my German class or not. My new friends read this and liked it yeeeeek (whatever that was) hope u guys are having a good week. (Poetry Club not started yet )
