No, I am not confused and neither am I ashamed
My sexuality is my destiny and no one is to be 'blamed'
I go beyond labels of LGBTQ or straight
My love is my pride and not up for debate!
They whisper behind my back and mock me blatantly
Behind faux veils of progressiveness, they refuse to accept me
Why is my coming out met with downcast eyes and bitter despair?
How can embracing love create this ungodly air?
Over the years, patriarchy has been a worthy foe
It has tried to define me, often outrageously so
It seeps through the cracks, till it reaches your very soul
And shames you into being what society calls 'whole'
But why can't society realise that love goes beyond scrutiny
It is the embodiment of infinity and a long-awaited mutiny
So call me queer, call me strange
It is you, not me who has to change.
