You were always trying
To impress people
Or subtly calling for
Attention
In late senior year you shaved
Your head shameless
And got weirder than you
Had been before
Your on again/off again
Boyfriend deserted you
In an attempt to suck out the
Venom from between you two
You called yourself bisexual
To rebel against your parents
I assume, since I never saw you
With another girl
You’ve been desperate before
And tried to come onto me
But it didn’t happen and you
Moved on, though we were friends
I’ll still remember that one night
You sexted me with the outward
Intent of just needing to
“Break out”
You said the compliments I gave you
Gave you a lot of confidence
And I sincerely hoped that helped
You decide who you were
Always so angsty
You never seemed
To say “I’m me”
Like most high schoolers
You wanted to be what other people
Wanted you to be
And for a long time I was your
Confiding voice
You were a friend to me
So I was happy to be
There to talk to and have you
Figure yourself out through
Your religious parents
Kicked you out when they found out
That you called yourself
Bisexual
Perhaps when you just found out
Who you were
You were forced to move in
With relatives far away
I hope you’ve got it down
By now
Consume Reality!
