Because…

I’m polyamorous

Because I’m a product of my environment

And I’m a fan of being honest

Polyamory was in my family

Cheaters were too

I grew up seeing both sides of the coin

I chose to be true

I don’t remember ever seeing a truly monogamous person

Everybody did what they wanted to do

That’s the way I wanted to live

Being free with the right to choose

I’m polyamorous

Because when I watched 90210 that day

I yelled at the screen “love them both

It’s okay”

I’m polyamorous

Because he was everything my mom could abide

But I could only see him when I was on her side

The guy on my dad’s side

Was everything I knew I had to hide

I’m polyamorous

Because the man I married was everything I said I would never date

I was mad at my current boyfriend

I was in another state

So what difference would it make

It was only supposed to be a summer fling

I was seventeen

This was never going to be a real thing

But neither of us would let it go

Even when I went back home

The vibe was strong

It never stopped me from being attracted to my actual type

Try as I might

Monogamy was just

Not for me

I’m polyamorous

Because I love fast

I love hard

I love love

And I play it with my heart

I never want to choose

It would tear my heart apart

The people who think too much with their minds

Tend to miss that part
