I've been fighting whispers all my life people have been saying "maddie's gay" "maddie's a *****" "maddie's bi" behind my back the whole **** time, I got it, okay? it's not news that people say that about me- it's not a surprise, don't expect me to be offended, it just hurts when it's people I love and it's really whatever it's just I can't seem to avoid it even when I'll join the religious order later in my life, it'll be "maddie's overcompensating" "maddie's doing it so no one would realize she's gay" "maddie's religious so she had to do this because if she just stayed single there would be questions" what do I have to ******* do to prove them wrong bang a male in front of my whole school? no, there will still be questions, "maybe she's bi" I'd like it if sexuality wasn't such a huge issue and if my mannerisms didn't cause people to say my name like a ***** word and if I could just act like ordinary me without being put in a box wouldn't we all?
