So somebody walked up to me a while ago and asked me about my sexuality in a demanding and accusing tone(I'm a straight ally). I had heard part of his previous conversation unintentionally, and it was mostly filled with gripes about how sexually diverse our generation is. Rather angrily, my response was:
"Sexuality? Why the hell are you worrying about sexuality when you should be worrying about reality? The reality that it shouldn't matter? Or the reality that it only does because people like you want it to?" He spat at me and walked away. It was worth it.

Literature
She asked for an explanation, she won't see it
So, I'm back here again
I thought another visit to my writing desk
Would make it easier to remember
Exactly why I wanted to forget you
The ink spills onto paper, forming words
It can't reflect
The black and white you invoke in me
Or even the shades of grey.
But, see, there's the problem
I'm not black and white
or some mix thereof
I'm a darker blue than dusk's sky
A brighter green than the leaves outside
A deeper red than the slash on my arm
After all, being monochromatic only
Brings out the colors that people despise
But I digress. This was supposed to be an explanation
Or maybe confession is a better term
So many
Angels dream outside my window
escaping from my pillow
glinting leaves of a lonely willow
into the silk of night
hiding - catching, haunting all light
Will they become stars too?
I do not know, though... I wish it so
Will they have dark wings (like you?)
and deep inner meanings (like you?)
I hope, so... too
Lay, on my shoulder, softly as a feather
falling gently in the hazy weather
Stay, as my memory is growing older
loomly within
against my lukewarm skin
Don't let the lark fool you
with her warning, singing
It's dark, oh... it's dark, still
Don't get up... wait until
dawning wakes into another morning

I have told you.
I have told you my fears, my dreams, my secrets. I've told you that some of these secrets will never come out, and that is true. They'll never escape me voluntarily, because they were never created in a way that would let them escape that way. But I need you, and I need you to understand me as much as I struggle to understand you, I need you to look at me and tell me that I'm a puzzle piece as well, I need you to convince me. I need you to be honest, but I also need you to lie.
Because lies are what I swallow best.
I have told you that I had a past, and a present, and a future. But I've never told you exactly how scrambled
I look at you, I'm nervous as hell, hoping against hope that you'd kiss me.
The empty street, the soft porch light, your hazel eyes are all I can see.
You lean down slowly, gently, letting your soft lips brush against mine.
You do it again, again, and again... We completely lose track of the time.
On my toes, your fingers lost in my hair, my body moulding to fit yours perfectly.
You kiss my neck, my heart hammers away, your lips tasting like heaven to me.
I was eighteen and never been kissed, until you came along, weakening my knees.
With you it was perfect, as it should be... Would you kiss me once more, please?

I'm the high school girl who sits alone at lunch.
I'm the boy who's teased for not taking a punch.
I'm the nerd who's only friends are her books.
Because the words they say about her stick like hooks.
I'm the homeless old man who ignores the peoples glares.
I'm the little boy who cries because he thinks nobody cares.
I'm the freak who tries so hard to act like she can blend.
But she knows she'll never really be accepted in the end.
I'm the orphan boy who is left week after week.
I'm the girl who's so depressed that she chooses not to speak.
I'm the grad student who's life has been so rough.
Yet he's finding that still his earnings

"C'mon, we're going to the movies." My sister's face peeked into my room from the hallway.
I nodded, typing a goodbye to a friend that I was chatting with online then the hurry to finish eating the leftover piece of chicken and get ready to leave was a mad rush ending with me rushing out and hopping into the burgundy luxury car that awaited outside; everyone else was already inside. I sat there with my Skullcandy earbuds dangling around my neck as we pulled off to our destination. We were already running a bit late. Something inside my head spoke hastily, a little voice that seemed to have urgent advice, "Get i
