Some Monsters Aren’t In The Closet
I didn't want to tell
but the words just left
"I'm bisexual."
there was time for a breath
before being told
I'm full of shit
my parents aren't sold
that bisexuality even exists
they live in black and white
where people are only straight or gay
a spectum is not in their sight
and they don't care what I say
my mom cried for someone to arrest me
that I should be in jail for very long
screaming about hoping a woman in prison would rape me
so that I could see how I was wrong
I cried and cried
knees pressed to my chest
regreting stopping the lies
panic making my heart race under my left breast
I tried to cut myself after they left the room
and cried till there was no more tears to shed
weeks pasted and tense fear still seemed to loom
their words still echo in my head
I'm open about my bisexuality
to my accepting friends and peers
but I regret coming out to my family
as what happened I told you here
I'm not saying to hide who you are
just know who you tell
and that you can trust them with your heart
so you don't have to go through hell
some people are lucky
and when they first come out
their experience isn't as rocky
and people have no doubt
this safe and close community
we can all trust eachother
be proud of our sexualities
and love one another
