I'm Still Me

Just cuz I'm different, it doesn't change who I have always been.

Its not flipping a coin.
Its not a choice.
Its not a phase.
Its not impossible.
Not every person I see
Is attractive to me.

I have a type,
I'm not a w***e.
I don't like every
Girl I see.
Just like you don't
Like everyone you see.

Why am I any different?
So what if I like both?
Its not bad or un-natural
To like guys and girls.

I'm normal.
I'm not a freak.
I'm not alone.
I'm me.

The only thing different
From you to me
Is I am comfortable
Being who i am.

Hurting me wont change me.
You need to accept who I am
And be proud that I can be
Open about who and what i am.

Yes I'm a girl.
Yes I like boys.
Yes I like girls.
You don't need to understand.
Just know that I'm stronger than you
Because I don't need to hurt others.

I don't care what you think of me.
I'm out.
I'm proud.
I'm strong.
I'm bi.
I'm still me.

Author's Note

I am bisexual and I wrote this so people can understand or at the very least think about how people feel, and how hurtful people can be. Your words can really hurt.
I would also like to say, if anybody needs someone to talk to, I may not be a professional, but maybe I can help.

I absolutly adore this. You can feel the pain through out this piece. Well, I admire your strength and courage that is expressed here. In today's society, It's hard to gain exeptence, whether you straight or not. People can be so cruel. See, now I know you very well. :) So I can help you if you need it. Remember to stay positive and keep up with what you're doing. Don't forget that this will pass in due time. After all, we never know where we will ever stand in our future. But you can make it through. This piece really touched me. And, even though I can't relate to the pain of being bisexual, I can still feel how much this could hurt. Don't stop believing. Cheers
