I thought the ***** would make me stop feeling it But instead I just felt it more intensely. I kissed a girl and I liked it Not like that Katy Perry song describes. I am not some **** straight girl with a boyfriend Who is trying to impress other dudes at a washed up bar. I just don't get it Maybe I never will How I can be some Christian child of God And feel this simultaneously? I will never understand How some will continue to harp on the idea That this whole spectrum is a plea for attention And does not exist. What the hell are they talking about? Do they think I like walking around every day With a stigma attached to my chest Even though most people do not even know the truth? Do they think I enjoy Lying to my parents, day in and day out Saying I am this pure, straight Presbyterian teen Who's secrets are all out in the open? There is a ton they do not know This is just the tip of the iceberg. Do they believe that I find pleasure in Hiding a huge part of who I am From my school, my church and my community? They cannot judge me That is God's job. These are just a few of my classic gripes About being a closeted bisexual In a conservative family.
