Unsophisticated
KID23 Jul 2020
I’m pan, yes, that’s what I am
I’ll fall in love with anyone
Anyone
That’s what You said
But that’s *******, isn’t it?
i’m anyone but
i’ll never be an option to You

you could say I’m bi
Yes, maybe that’s it
I don’t care if they’re a boy or a girl
I’ll fall in love with anyone
I can love anyone
But can You?

Or is it just me
Am i never going to be
Good enough for
You
Am i too
Unappealing, too
Boring, too
Ugly,
for You to love me
To give me the same amount of attention You give–
HIM

I’m gay, yes, I’m fully out of the closet
Nine words i want to hear You say
(But You never will—maybe)
Because i’m waiting. But
What’s the point .
What is the point when
i am never going to be
Good enough for
You– When i am too
Unappealing, too
Boring, too
Ugly,
for You to love me

Let me retaliate, i think You’re
Mean,
Stuck-up,
Unsophisticated,
Selfish,
Bossy,
Attention-grabbing,
A whor-

No.
i cannot.

i don’t care what You are
i like You enough for me to Disregard
Every Bad Quality
You can be my perfectly imperfect devil
The Tom Buchanan to my Daisy
The cockroach in my bedroom
The cancer metastasizing in my body

Do whatever You want to do
Say whatever You want to say
i don’t care
i will try, to
Forget You, but You will always
Rein me back in, and
i know that i might regret this, but
Just remember

Cue music,

If You’re lost You can look
And You will find me
Time after time

If You fall i will catch You
i will be waiting
Time after time

Anytime.
just a heartbroken gay boi...
