Out Of The Closet

Out Of The Closet

A Poem by Sanbino Rodriguez-White
"

Love is love, and those that think less are wrong...

"
I was always afraid to be myself...
I put on a mask and played someone else...
I was afraid that I would be shunned and made a mockery...
I know I liked girls but also I guys...
I couldn't hide it although I tried...
They all made fun, they called me names...
I was a tool, inside their game...
I was 11 one day in class, I was sick and tired of being harassed...
So I stood up and I could proudly say...
I'm Bisexual I'm not just gay...
They all got quiet, but I could hear their screams...
They didn't try to get near me...
I had no friends and no support...
It's just a phase, I heard of course...
I told my parents, to my dismay...
They didn't approve they said the same...
They said stop acting, it's not game...
So I bit my tongue and stood in vain...
Was I so different, was I this impure...
I thought love was love, but I'm unsure...
Was I a burden, Was I a pain...
Was it a phase, to hide my pain...
But not I'm 19 I'm still the same...
Love is still love, it's all the same...
My heart still beat, my lungs still breathe...
I still have a brain, like most living things...
I'm not at all broken... I'm not at all impure...
Although times not frozen, people still disagree...
They say there is no place in this world...
For people like me, but that's not true..
We are still equal, This is just the prologue...
Soon will come the Sequel...

I am so sorry that you have to go through this. All the kids who made fun of you and also your parents not approving, it is because they don't understand. I believe that you should do what makes you happy. It is your life to live. Good luck to you!

I'm so happy to hear that.
This is so great. My favorite line is

Was I so different, was I this impure...
I thought love was love, but I'm unsure...

So proud of you i feel your pain and also your true acceptance for yourself. So good.

I wish society would allow us to love who we want to love without the labels and judgment. I hate that a closet was ever created

Agreed, I feel the world would be so much better...
Love is kind. Unkindness is not love. Well done.
