I may not have the privilege of support from all sides, But I know who I am. Maybe it hasn’t exactly surfaced, And I admit, There have been some times where I wondered if it’s right, But how can finally being sure of yourself be wrong? Yes, I struggle with self-image And self-acceptance My mom looking me in the eye and telling me I can’t be sure, Or listening to my dad lecture my sister about how it’s Adam and Eve, Not Eve and Amy Doesn’t exactly help, But in a place and a society where being yourself is only acceptable Sometimes If at all, Having even a little bit of pride Can be the difference between Saying “***** it” and being yourself And deciding pleasing others is more important than your own happiness But I’m done letting others decide what’s best for me When I’m clearly already drowning in expectations So here goes; I’m pansexual and **** proud Take it or leave it, But I'm not gonna change for anybody.
We were supposed to write a poem for Seminars class about who we are...what do you guys think?
