'He's so hot!'
They giggled, and I agreed
Though for the life of me
I could not figure out
Why one was hot
Yet another one... not
The female form
Is what attracted me,
Gentle curves
And a beautiful face
Female sex
Is what excited me
Knowing like no man could
What made each other squirm
My thoughts knew no name
I dated guys.
Pointless, but expected
Sophomore year, she was so pretty
Her laugh infectious
Her touch electric
My best friend, Carrie.
I loved her as I loved no other
Now my thoughts had a title.
Lesbian, dyke, lezzie
Carpet- eater, rug muncher
I dated girls,
Natural as anything
And finally that trait
That eye that I yearned for in my youth
Appeared... Men were attractive too.
Confusion sunk in,
All forms of identity fled through the window
Now I know though, what I am.
Bisexual. Scorned in both worlds
Straights say we are sinful
Gays say we are fakes
I am what I am though
And it's worth every second
Author notes
well, i thought i was a lesbian for a while... but im not... im bi... its much more difficult if you ask me, but you do get the best of both worlds. which is the line that makes both sides hate us. its worth it though, that is for sure. it is possible to be monogomaous and bi, just so everyone out there knows. combination really, of all the options

Thank you for posting this wonderful poem! I thought I was a lesbian for a while, and I can really relate to this poem. It is not easy being bi- sometimes we face rejection from both gay and straight people alike.

YOUR WHAT?????? LOL...so now I have to question my own self....since I AM your evil step child...... Oh well, I've got plenty of time to decide...LOL...I am really glad you are who your are and I don't care! It doesn't change the person you are on the inside and thats all I think should matter to anyone. Wonderfully written!!! Hugs & Kisses - Cayla

this was so good and your right its not so bad being apart of it all I am going to try this contest out, I've never really experienced that world but hey a true poet can experient with words. good luck here

An excellent poem with a strong message for everyone. Your words are clear and appear heartfelt. I support your stance.
Good Luck in Whatever you do.
Note
This is an extension of a theme covered by the British folk singer Roy Bailey in a children's song.
Part of it goes :-
Oh you can be anybody you want to be
You can love whoever you will
You can travel any country that your heart leads
And know that I will love you still.
You can be by yourself, you can gather friends around You can choose one special one
And the only measure of your worth in this life
Will be the love you leave behind when you're done.
The song covers all types of relationship and, ebing aimed at youngsters, will hopefully help get the message over.

I can't even begin to tell you how many times I've felt like this. Scorned in both worlds, indeed. But nevertheless, we are what we are. Great job.

This is so wonderful, and a great description of being bi...I too ran into trouble when it came to figuring out my preferences, I would flip flop and have been told by gays that bisexual doesn't exist, "it is an excuse not to decide" which did not help. Now I am comfortable in who I am, although I do not tell anyone aside from my closest friends. Well done. I liked the flow of this poem, and the way it read, and I thought it summed up the confusion very well. Good luck in the contest.
