I don't see myself on tv
I don't see myself in magazines
I don't see myself in books
I don't see myself in my community
They say I can't love her
They say I can't love him
They say I don't love them
They make jokes
They shun
Confused
Experimenting
Curious
Going through a phase
Trying it out
Not sure of what you want
You'll change your mind
You aren't inclusive
That's what they say to me
It's not true
None of it
Any of it
All of it
My truth
The truth
The only truth
The absolute truth
I can love her
I can love him
I can love them
It doesn't mean I like everyone I see
It means I'm just being me
Bisexual in the past
Bisexual today
Bisexual tomorrow
Bisexual forever
Stop erasing me
