You put me in a box
saying what I have
to be but what
if that's not who
I am I am
hiding in the darkness
afraid of the words
that will be said
I know what you
think of me as
you look at me
you think I'm a
freak even though you
are silent but know
this is who I
am and also know
their is nothing that
anyone can do to
change me who I
love shouldn't matter if
it's male,female or
anyone else Love is
love or is it
wrong to be something
that's put as something
to be ashamed of
or terrified that even
you are scared to
say or show who
you are to the
ones you love I
don't people to stare
or ask why or
say it's wrong to
be me be cause
who else should I
be but myself

Author note: this poem was about being put into the box male or female at birth and people not realizing not everything is inside of boxes also the aspect of loving someone who's different than "straight" people
