I can hear it.
   the disgust in people's voices
when I talk about it.
I can see it.
     the discomfort in people's eyes
   when I say "her" instead of "him."
I can feel it.
   the rebuke waiting on people's lips
  when my arms are around her waist.

It makes me unsure about myself
About her, about them...
I just want freedom
To sing about who I want
Male or Female.

You can't cover up my rainbow sky
with blue construction paper.

Who are they?
  to say
what's okay
And what's "gay?"

I can hear it...
   the whispers behind my back
  when I kiss her.

Author's Comments

It's been happening more and more recently. More people have been discriminating against me because of a single word: "Bisexual."
And I'm tired of it. This poem is a symbol of what it's like for any LGBT (Lesbian Gay Bisexual Transgender) teen or person out there. To any LGBT's out there, you're not alone in this world. I know a lot of you have it much harder than me. But we can take a stand.
Whatever your opinions, please, no harmful comments.

Much Love,
Jessa Rose :rose:

<3333333 the world is a harsh place. Im not one for it, but I totally respect people who are. Lovely piece, yet again.

You will always have the sympathy of the artist. It is not a choice with them either.

yeah you get alot of shit for being Bi, just give them shit for being straight. Ask them why they dont see the beauty in the woman body? Just because they dont get turned on by it should make them freaks then....

Its time to turn the tables and make them feel more uncomfortable with there own sexuality... give them a taste of what your feeling...

<3 I love being bi and if they dont that isnt any of my problem cause whoever hates it can get something large shoved in an uncofortable place.

my opinion.

LOL. That's true. Its all just respect.
But I would never shove it back in their face and give them grief for their sexuality, because that would make me my own enemy, I would be going against what I believe in: freedom for all sexualities. I would never stoop to their level, because I am taller than them. I'm comfortable enough to stand in my own being and not be torn down, or have to tear down other people to get even. Because getting even is the last thing I want to do.

... well thats not quite what I meant... more meaning if someone walked up to me and said something like "you liking girls is bad and gross" *lame example but ok* ... I would be like " well... you only liking guys is ""lame" and "gross"... "".... something like that... but mostly only if someone said something to me I would say something right back... just how I have always been. Then you usually get a funny look of defeat or they just look at you weird and go away, which I like the best... the going away part... anyways <3 ^^" haha

*shrug* I'd just say, "Is this all you have to do with your free time? Here. Take this nice shiny quarter and go do something fun with it."
