When I was 13

When I was 13,
I learned how to be myself.
I learned how not fitting in was ok.
And that it was ok to be sad sometime, but in order to see some sunshine, I must walk in the rain.

When I was 13,
I formed laugh lines so thick in my face you could sworn I had seen years of happiness and not one day of pain.

At age 13, I learned what
my buttons were,
and how not to allow people to push them.

In this day in age when I was 13, most girls wanted to give there virginity to the "Lil Waka Flaka" down the street, but no, not me!

I held onto mines like it was Gods hand on judgement day, that's because I was scared.

I wasn't afraid of the popping of my cherry or the baby some girls walk around with like it's ok.

I was afraid I would be less of a women when the time came for me to actually be a women.

I wanted to be pure.!

When I was 13,
I was in the 8th grade and I rolled out the closet too.

A famous girl once said "closets are for clothes, not for people, and last time I checked I wasn't hanging from a hanger fresh from the dry cleaners, so there for yes, I'm gay.!"

Ask me who that famous girl is and I'll tell you me.

Gander is a universe and
We are all stars,
which means I'm a celebrity to the
Galaxy of crazy.

When I was 13, I became
Brave, I loved for the very first time, and kissed in that age too.

I got to know myself. Even though myself got crushed by what
She thought was love but was
Actually a 1,000 tone building of emotions

Built up in me and came crashing down like building in 911.

At age 13,
I was silly, smart, lovable, sad, mad, and most important, I stayed a child.!
