not like the rest

Finally finding myself

By Carly SmithPublished 4 years ago • 1 min read

ive questioned a lot

throughouht my childhood

why do i look at girls

more than boys.

when i was young,

it never occured to me

that i could like girls.

because,

it wasnt socially acceptable

for a kid to know

her sexuality.

because everyone else

would be unoriginal

and say its a phase.

my "phase" has lasted 8 years now.

queer is what you can say

i am.

unlabeled

and unbothered

by those who are uneducated

and those

who cant love

adn accept everyone.

because homosexuality

isnt in the bible,

but loving everyone

for who they are,

is.
