The Art of Being You

Sat, 06/22/2019 - 18:42 -- slgenne

A lie,

That’s where it began.

Half-truths, twisted alibi

When the shit hit the fan.

 

An argument,

That’s where it escalated.

Harsh words, painful comment

Leaving us deflated.

 

A confession,

That’s when time stopped.

Halted breath, comprehension

Sexuality bomb dropped.

 

Love,

That’s what I was shown.

A family that I’m in awe of

Acceptance in a world not my own.
