Queer

It seems like everytime I look at her

My thoughts start to blur

My face heats up like a oven

And I don’t know the reason

 

I confided in my friends and they said I have a crush

I tried to deny and they told me to shush

They told me that they could tell I was queer

And that me not realizing was torture

 

The months pass and I start to see

How the world looks in disgust at our intimacy

I stare back and challenge their glare

Their hate and ignorance I dare

 

My love holds strong

Though people tell me it’s wrong

We promise stay together through pain and doubt

As we both know that one day we’ll make it out.

 

I’m proud to say, I’m queer.
