Lifepoems

(A poem I wrote during a period of time where I was incredibly confused by my own sexuality on a number of levels. The sexuality itself wasn't completely apparent to me. It seemed hidden, distorted, and just as confused as I was. I had gone through a series of titles I had given to myself until I decided to just embrace an idea of this: I simply am. There is not and never will be a need to label my self, because by labeling our selves, we lose a piece of our selves. We lose a piece of individuality. Regardless if we are gay, straight, bisexual, transgendered, sisexual and so on, each term carries in and of itself an implied certainty, and an unknown umbrella. I don't want to be seen with any implied certainty, nor do I want to be an umbrella. I just simply want to be.)
I am a tempest of rage, hate, and self-loathing
A brewing mixture of hypocrisy and guilt
Pulling in those around me
And bringing them in along for the ride
Countless broken promises
Regrets and failures aplenty
Emotionally and romantically complacent
But companions feeling empty
Never letting people in to gaze
Refusing to do the same
Desires are lies and conditions
I fail to accept the reality
And so it falls into central point
A harsh and devestating gravity
I can't step out of my shell because of fear
Not knowing, if the source is even here
Gradual stepping and exploration seems key
Yet it's difficult for people to let me be
It's hard to stick to the plan
When I'm left feeling less than a man

as a fellow human, a person who can identify with your worries but can never experience the same ups and downs as you all i can say is... you are potential incarnate! sex is not life and life is not sex.
it took me all my life to realize that sexual orientation is so insignificant to a persons value. A decent person is the most magnificent thing that we know of in this massive expanse in which we reside.
the people i grew up with just aren't capable of dealing with that part of me yet but love, respect, and admiration can still exist in a relationship without discussing sexual topics.
Don't let your orientation define you and don't pay attention to anybody that tries to define you by your PRIVATE desires or fantasies. Each and every human has a different sexual preference... literally!
Unless you plan of engaging in some sort of sexual activity with someone then its not something that your obliged to discuss.
You posses 50% of the authority of every interaction that your involved in. Learn to like like yourself and then other peoples opinions wont keep you up at night. life is made up of so much more than sex.
do me a favor - next time you look in the mirror... smile and think about all the spring time sun that we can all summon within ourselves!
keep going my friend! |

| I can relate to this on many levels. Your poem defines where I want to be mentally in some ways |
