yes, that's right. you're not going blind due to the fact that you've been staring at the computer all day.
i speak a language you might never understand. but that's alright, because closed minds with open mouths are not trying to learn. i'm not asking for your permission. your approval. your blessing. i am just letting you know that i'm alive. that i breathe. and eat. and sleep. just. like. you.
i am human. and i do not come close to perfection like God. i do not read the bible every night. i do not go to church every sunday. but i dream, and i believe, and i wish. on falling stars, 11:11, and silly little wells and fountains.
my mother does not tolerate it, because she's composed of religion, heritage, and own personal beliefs. we don't talk about it. we pretend. that everything's alright, and some day i'll get married to a man. ha. a man.
but i am in love. and my heart's set on a different direction. she orders me north, but i'm begging to go south. i have mind. and i am not blind. i will not bend who i am to please. i will do what i want, and what i want. is her.
she's composed of curves. of breasts. and magical hands. she is what i want. forever.
i am not your sexual fetish. i will not crumble from your whispers. i will not hide from your criticism. i am proud of what i am, and i am proud of what i feel.
i am not a phase. i am not my friend's influence.
i am a body. a mind. a heart. i am a girl, and i love a girl. and it's going to stay that way as long as i breathe my share of oxygen, and as long as my blood flows purple and green, and as long as rainbows exist after a rainy day.
i will sing my lesbian song as long as i have my voice. and i will write my lesbian stories as long as i have my hands and my feet.
i will be me. and i will not disguise my own person as something you are. i will not stand with a closed mouth for what i believe in.
i am an open mind with an open heart and i will keep fighting for what i think is right. i won't sit here and let you tell me that i am wrong, and that i am a sin. i am nothing short of a human being. i am nothing short of who you are and i deserve my own cut of happiness.

i am lesbian. homosexual.
i am a girl who likes a girl.
i am human.
