POEM STARTER
Write a poem that is grotesquely romantic.
This could mean a poem that’s overly lovey-dovey, one that has a romantic theme but grotesque imagery, or something else altogether.
I don’t think…..
I don’t think I actually like men
My friend turned to me and said
Muse
I don’t think you like men at all
I thiugh about it for weeks before the comment
And now it constantly occupies my head
And I don’t know how to answer the question
It was scary to come out once
And this was a huge fear
Of what if I am wrong
I don’t know if i like men
I know i came out as bi
And I was confident in that label
Or at least I pretended to be
Now I don’t actually know the real me
I wish I knew the answer
I wish I had a label
I wish it wasn’t hard
I don’t know if i am forcing myself To say I like men
Because I know i would prefer a woman
I don’t know what to do
And I don’t think I actually like men
