I'm not a bad person


I'm not a bad asexual

because I have sexual feelings.

im not a gold star asexual 

because I've never had sex.

I'm just not an asexual.

 

I'm not a bad androsexual

because I'm attracted to women.

I'm not a bad gynephile

for being attraced to men either.

Queer people are cute,

and straight people keep refusing to date me,

but I'm not pansexual and I never will be.

 

I don't defy the boxes,

I'm just not in the boxes you like.

I'm demisexual,

I only feel attracted to people I liked before.

 

So why do people act like I'm a bad person?

I'm a slut because I dress like a boy,

and a prude when I dress like a girl.

And I'm sick,

I'm throwing up all this interalized shit,

and I'm trying to fight off the outside influences.

 

But I'm so tired.

So, so tired of it all.

And I don't want to have to do it.

I want help.
