I Am Me

Wednesday, April 6

You wouldn't understand if I told you
You wouldn't want to hear me if I tried to explain
Everyone wants their child to be an individual
As long as we all act the same.

I could tell you I've been in love with a woman
The forbidden territory of the human heart
But you'd tell me it was only a "stage" that I was feeling
And that I've actually been straight from the start

I could tell you that I now love a man
And that I desire to be married and have a baby
You would see this as proof; that I was just as normal as you
That I was a proper "little lady"

That now that I love this man it's plain to see
That what it was that I felt before
Was nothing but some misguided, lustful feelings
Now safely kept in my head and heart; behind the closet door

The words to describe me are many, you see
I am a Witch, I am a woman, I am a wife
I am a daughter, I hope to be a mother, I am a human being
I don't have a lifestyle, I have a life

If you need to label my sexuality it's "bisexual"
Such a neat and tidy label to paste on me
It doesn't begin to describe all that I am
But it could make you change the way you see me

See I would try to tell you about all of this
That being bisexual, to me, means love without bounds
Loving a person for the person they are
And I really don't give a damn how you may think that sounds

I love a person, not a gender
I know that you find this so very hard to comprehend
But if I try to explain myself, would it matter?
If I told you I was Bi, would you understand?
