Sextuality


Seven years old watching tv

Seeing the gorgeous girl on tv,

Every man would want her

But I want her

Isn't this supposed to be wrong?

Everyone in my family says it's wrong

"You are supposed to like boys"

Yes I like boys

But I also think she's cute

Why do I keep thinking girls are cute?

Seventeen years old

I still think the girls on tv are cute

But no one else can know

I guess I'll just remain here in the closet

It's cramped

Getting smaller and smaller as I get older

Sooner or later I'll have to come out

Now isn't the time

They still thinks it's wrong

I think the boy on tv is cute

But I think his tv girlfriend is cute too

I guess I'll just remain here in the closet

My secret is with only me, the tv and the walls of the closet
