Being LGBT...for me....sometimes
May 13, 2014
That awkward moment when your sexuality defines you is so awkward that it makes my heart jump into my throat
My heart, because guys can be so attractive, and jump, because my attraction is secret.
Everybody gets butterflies in their stomach….I get a heart in my mouth
A heart in my teeth
The white canines and molars clench the red flesh and blood drips onto the floor
Blood, because my lifeblood is being drained
The floor, because that's were I feel I am
