Just There.

You say
I chose everything.
Since childhood-
It was all about Me.

You say-
I never heard you.
I never sought to seek
What you felt.

You say-
I decided everything.
That, all that is happening-
Is all because of me.

Yes, I did.
I chose to be a human.
I chose to laugh.
I chose to make love.
I chose to have babies.

What I did not choose-
Was limits, boundaries, hatred.
What I did not listen-
Were your abuses.
What I did not decide-
Was my sex and my gender.

The way you did not have the choice
Of choosing-
Between a vagina or a penis-
I, too, did not have to make a choice-
Between being gay or straight.

I was just born
With a heart-to live,
With a mind- to think,
With a soul- to love-

I was just born.


P.S.: Being a homosexual is neither a phase nor a choice. Its just there- like everything else.
