I grew up on the boarder of city and country On neo-folk and punk served with romantic classical The kind of music that paints pictures Rainy days were my favourite My Mom didn't pay much attention to me so I learnt to play With my wild imagination Until Dad came home He'd leave whenever he got mad "I'm going for a drive" I loved dogs and horses and all natures creatures Except cockroaches Dear god did I ******* hate those things My Mom was a pagan my Dad the member of a Catholic church Mom told me if I am good in this life I'd be a unicorn in the next My Dad just taught me the lord's prayer My first friend told me I was going to hell I knew she'd be a slug in her next life School bells I enjoyed school I was a prodigy child in everything except math Dad pushed me into Karate, Judo, Rock Climbing, Soccer, Boxing I liked playing my piano and drawing my dog Sports made me uncomfortable My first kiss was with slug girl She was pudgy and had a cute smile which I was jealous of But she screamed and ran away That was the first time I heard the term "gay" I started to like boys because I thought it was "right" My Mom said "we all love our friends" but my Dad frowned I loved my Dad I wanted him to love me too so I kissed the boy I grew up with It was gross I kissed many boys after that and tried my hardest to forget slug girl We moved into the heart of town and I wore more black I stopped playing with my Matchbox cars I stopped galloping about like the horses I desired I put on a little eyeliner and the bullying I faced when I was younger Made me weak It got worse They tormented me those kids I wished them all dead but I knew Karma would get them Eventually Now I am still drawing animals and writing and playing piano But I wont ever forget my Dad and his silly beliefs and *** Pistols I embrace my gayness although not to it's shining potential But I will always love myself for everything I was Am And ever will be My story is far more dark and complex than this but to tell it would take a lifetime My whole lifetime And more to come x Kaity
