Walk Away
And so she walked away from herself
She put that part of herself in a box and buried it deep
She saw that part of her soul, kissed it, and walked away
“Why are you walking away from me?”
“ Because you’re not real. You can’t be anymore.”
She wept knowing that she would never reclaim this part of herself
She didn’t walk away because she wanted to
But because it was what expected
She isn’t bisexual it’s just a demon
She has to fight it and
Tell herself that she is straight until
She is lulled into thinking this way
She can’t lose her family
Can’t walk away
So she walks away from
Herself
And walks up to
The role she is meant to play
“I hate you. I wish I could be me.”
“Well, either accept me or don’t
Either way you have a role
To play”
She sighs, knowing it’s right
And walks into a role that was never meant for her
She weeps daily, hearing in the distance
The buried part of herself calling out to her
“Come back, fight for yourself.”
She sighs sadly, knowing that she can never
Do this
This she is me…..
