Love Who You Love (2017)

She’s got emeralds in her eyes

And her cheeks flush red

Strawberry blonde hair

With a paper and pen


Her favorite flower is a daisy

With golden hues

And wherever she goes

She lights up the room


I wish I could tell her

But I'm too afraid

To give up the role

That I've learned to play


My mother, father, and brother

Would mourn 

The daughter and sister

They knew when born


For them it seems

There is only one way

Girls like boys

They cannot like the same


So here I stand

Flourished with guilt

About who I am

And the way I was built


But I have learned

That this is a lie

You are who you are

Please do not hide


Love who you love

Do not have shame

There is no one like you

No one the same

Immediately drew me in and now I feel a lil sadder, just a bit. Loved it tho! It's almost cathartic 💛
