forgot how much fun poetry was

[pitifulanonymus]

im on a bisexual rights kick. i mean, what the fuck? and i was feeling creative...

just because
i made that
wonderful
glorious
leap
to love women,

does not mean
i have lost
the capacity
to love men,

does not mean
i want to deny
my past.

and
just because
i may still
love men

does not mean
it is any easier
to live in
this uncomfortably
(often destructively)
heterosexual
world,

does not mean
i would ever stop
choosing to be with,
to love exclusively,
the woman
who i would want
to be my partner,
should i ever
find her again,

does not mean
i can be
without the support of
a women-loving-women
community.

but both worlds
seem to
find comfort
in their labels,
are threatened by,
and have little
space for
the complexities of
the likes of me.

how silly,
inhuman,
painful,
and outrageous
are the judgments.

i would choose
to suffer isolation
rather than
live a lie,
rather than
betray
this special
part of me
that loves
and can be loved.

instead,
let us build
a world
where we
rejoice in,
rather than condemn,
all forms of
positive
non-power-based
loving.
