Otherness
It's something I feel often.
people talk at great lengths, with
such passion of things I do not
understand.
They speak of romance and attraction
like the world will end without it.

Mom,
Why is my sexuality wrong?
Mom,
Why don't I want to mate?
Mom,
Am I a failure?
Mom,
Why do I have to try it to know I don't want it?
Mom,
What's wrong with me?
Mom,
When we broke up you said
it's 'cause you never showed me love
But you never said what kind of love you were looking for
We were best friends for three whole years
Through the laughter and the tears
Why does it offend you?
Why do we offend you?
Why do I offend you?
Why does Love, offend you?
The closet was deep, but not wide.
There was a box,
It was full, and so was I.
I couldn't stay,
I had to come out,
It was just too hard to hold in.
Tears flee from my
I gave up forever ago
eyes, and paint the door before me
like bricks.
Red brown red brown red brown
forever.
Except it’s always been infinity.
Black is the secret kept inside me
Cold and lifeless where none can see
Gray is the line upon which I tread
To lie or to tell? A choice I dread
White is my soul which none have touched
Hidden away
at the end
or more often just omitted
not out of hate, but of ignorance.
What could A stand for but
Allies, anyway?
Purposeful perpetuation of an imperfect initialism
