I’ll Die Anyway
I shiver at the implications of our existence,
We are against nature.
I feel abnormally disgusted by something that makes me happier than I’ve ever been before.
I run my hands up your neck,
Softly brushing the hair beside your ear.
I ache for something to hold onto,
Something that isn’t you.
I smoke a cigarette,
The feeling brings my mind to a stop.
I taste the smoke,
I breathe it in deeply.
I know it’s deadly.
I know I’m told not to do it.
I know it’s disgusting.
I know everyone’s watching.
I know I’m different.
I know it’s wrong.
I know we’re wrong.
But as I breathe out a fresh puff of smoke,
I bring my lips to yours.
I know it’s wrong,
But I’ll die anyway.

Hey there. I absolutely adored the defiant nature of this poem. How attraction is completely undefined by the laws of what people think is right and wrong. Most of all I enjoyed that you remain true to yourself through this piece.
Happy pride month from another pansexual hot mess. 😂
