Lesbian.
From being a young child,
It’s been a word you don’t utter in public.
It’s a taboo.
A word that defines you as different.
So when i figured out I liked girls
(and only girls)
I called myself anything but
that
word.
Gay, lesbean, wlw, girls who like girls
Anything but that ***** word that no one said.
But in actual fact, I am growing to love it.
The women of history using it as an act of rebellion,
To show their difference from the rest.
The L in LGBT+
That’s me.
happy lesbian visibility day!
