Hey Liz,
You are finally 14, and in grade 9,
You've been suppressing certain feelings,
But they can no longer be denied,
You've been doubting yourself and who you really are,
It's September, and these feelings began in February,
All these emotions...they're too many,
You've been feeling attracted to girls,
Girls just like you?
It's crazy, you really don't know what to do,
No matter what, you are still confused,
Where will you go when there's a hungry lion outside,
And behind you, there's a fake wall?
I really don't know what to say,
I want to help, but I still can't understand,
Maybe as time goes by, these feelings will fade.
Sincerely,
Elizabeth
