Today I'm feeling inspired
Ready to write what I've been too scared to say
To let my keyboard take it away
My fingers dance over the letters
Fighting to find how to say what has to be said
Fighting to find a way to speak what has never been spoken
To break down the walls that hold me back
The chains that hold me down
To open the door to the cage that has kept me captive
For so long
Today is the day I start over
And leave my pain behind
Today is the day when I finally show my true colors
Hello, my name is Sophie
And I'm done hiding
S Nov 2015
You're so greedy
They said
Pick a side
They said
You're such a ****
They said
Their words like knives
My blood spilling freely like insults from their mouths
I can't choose
I'll never choose
To choose would be to lose half of myself
All I want is to love freely
How can you hate my for that?
How can you cut me with your words and expect me to heal?
Nothing is wrong with me
Nothing is wrong with me except the deep cuts your words leave on my heart
I can't stop the bleeding;
The only way to stop it is to choose a side, but that would leave an even deeper scar
But
those knives were not aimed for me
No
they were aimed for the word above my head
What I call myself
My own label
Bisexual
I'm just the person below the word
My body taking the hits
Bruised and bleeding tears of frustration and sadness
The knives will not stop
Make them stop
Before my blood runs drier than the sand in the hourglass that is the only one that knows how much longer I can take the pain
Make them stop,
before it's too late

— The End —
