i can never tell them.
this is one of the two things i realised when i turned sixteen.
the other, well, it isn't hard to guess.
tearful confessions, anger, acceptance, indifference.
each prospect as possible as the next. i don't care.
all i know is that everything will change.
everything will change and i will become irreverence
or cease to be at all.
i can never tell them.
'dude that's ******* gay'
the low cackle of my parents laughing at my brother
'don't curse.'
