I'm Not a Lesbian.

To start things off, to be very clear,

I'm not, nor have I ever been, queer.

I'm a friendly girl at school

Who does not mean to fool.

I have a short red pixie cut

This can be misleading, but

Stereotypes are just that.

And, as a matter of fact,

If I do not date

It does not mean that I hate

The idea of a boyfriend.

I simply need to focus on the end.

High school is coming to a close,

And I hate to impose,

But I feel as though

I should let you know 

That you should not define

Someone based on their time

Spent chasing after boys.

I don't wish to be Helen of Troy.

For love I will search

At college or at church.

But for now, I will wait

Until I find the perfect mate.

We should learn to love others

As our sisters and brothers

Rather than spreading lies

Or creating a disguise.

The moral of all this

Is to add emphasis

On how you should not 

Judge based on what you thought.

Once again,

I am not a lesbian.
