I need some help.
I’m interested in it -
The honesty that comes from it
I guess I have a fear of intimacy
Of someone finding out about it
I’m quite real with my sister
Though she doesn’t know about it
But I’m sure she wouldn’t
have a problem with it
I’ve always wrestled with it
And then dismissed it
I’m a very private person
Maybe it’s OK
If no-one knows about it
I never talk about it
Or issues that surround it
Maybe I’m a coward.
I don’t stand up
And say what I think about it
OK, I’m thinking about my sexuality -
I’ve never let myself think about it
In those terms before
And I’m still a bit afraid
To say it out loud –
Even to myself
It’s time to be honest about it
Mostly to myself
I am just trying to find out the truth
About it
About me.
Thankyou for your time.

This is a pretty good poem. It kind of describes to sexual questions and thoughts surrounding it that always lurks at the back of our mind, and at the right time comes out. That is when we discover who we are and where we belong, I believe. Maybe to improve it, create a little stability by using the same amount of lines in the stanza and small details like that but if you want to make an impact, like you did with the first line, keep it COMPLETELY seperated, again, like you did with the first line. That would be a good touch. feel free to exchange comments.
