Eighth Grade Science Class

Let me tell you a story

One about a girl

Let’s make her 13

Let’s put her in science class

Let’s give her some fear and some anxiety

Let’s giver her a desperate want for something

The proper word, the proper label

Let’s give her a Pinterest post

It’s about something starting with an ‘a’

Let’s give her a google search that takes her breath away

Let’s give her hours, days, and months of research

Let’s finally give her an answer

But wait

Let’s give her another question

A question that sits in her chest, in her mind, in her lungs

Burning at years of words and lessons

A question that makes her more scared than anything in the world

Let’s give her clipped words and stuttered confessions

Let’s give her a friend who answers with love and understanding

Let’s give her the confidence to google another question

Let’s give her a box of labels to try on

Let’s give her confidence

Confidence to snap at a classmate’s rude joke

Confidence to be aggressive and assertive

Confidence to realize the answer she gave wasn’t right

Let’s give her guilt and fear, more and more fear

Let’s give her search after search

Let’s give her label after label

Asexual, Aromantic, Demisexual, Bisexual, Lesbian

Let’s give her the closure she wants

Let’s give her a label she wears with pride

Let’s give her everything she dreamt about

Now, let’s give her a slap in the face

Let’s give her religious backlash

Let’s give her angry words

Words spoken by friends and family

Words that tear her apart

Words that make her feel like nothing is worth it

Let’s give her a light

Let’s give her a light that doesn’t come from God

Let’s give her light that comes from a friend

A friend that loves her no matter what she is

A friend that inspires her to tell others

A friend that tells her to be safe and be careful

Let’s give her a bigger circle

Let’s give her a third person

Let’s give her love and support

Let’s give her the labels she searched for

Finally

Finally

Let’s give her a proper name

Something to call herself

Let’s give her a community

A place to feel accepted

Let’s give her peace

Let’s give her love

Let’s give her a break…

what do i do if i’m in love with my best friend? and when i told her about it i gave her the option to ignore it? and told her i would stop having feelings for her if thats what she wanted? and then she hasn’t said anything about it? but i’m still madly in love?

Okay so like my friend made me a really cute bracelet with a rainbow for gay pride, the colors for asexual pride, and the old lesbian pride colors. Should I change it to use the new flag colors? I just feel really bad asking her to change it. Or is it fine the way it is? Please help me
