Day 10

Paper, Pen.
Late night
a head full of hurt
and confusion.

I started writing a poem
about my sexual orientation
and then it dawned on me,
that there is no way to write about
something you don't understand,
especially if you are scared to.
So I ended up

Paper, Pen.
Late night
more like,
early morning
a head full of hurt
and confusion.

Wishing i could draw a picture
in the boxes I was given
instead of having to check one of them,
be given a couple hours to
give a lecture on
love,
society,
and sexuality
that wouldn't have to be broadcast back to my ears first
before i believed in its earnest...,
or damn..
at least
be able
to write a poem
