Poetry: Homosexuality

by Glen Sadley

Created on: March 03, 2007   Last Updated: May 14, 2007

I don't think
That I can play the part
Of that perfect little
Straight girl anymore

I don't think
I can lie to myself
And avert my eyes
During the naughty parts
of her R-rated scene

Why is it that I
Am a different person
When I chose a side?
Lesbian
Straight
Does it change my face?
Make me something
Beyond human or sane

I don't think
I can handle your stigmas
But then again
If I allow you to cheat me
I cheat myself &
You win

So I am forced
To chose between
The gravel or the foam
And honestly
I think I'd rather scratch my face
When I fall down
Than float on a cloud
- F a c e l e s s -
For the rest of my days

I don't think
That I can play the part
Of that perfect little
Straight girl anymore
