Stars Can't Shine Without Darkness

25

It amazes me
How many people in our society
Who will purposely avoid me
Because I don't have straight teeth

Or the fact I'm not exactly thin
I weigh more than 100 lbs but then
I'd rather be called "fat" than win
This game I was forced to play in

And I'm not anywhere near
The normalcy you hold dear
In fact, I'm quite queer
In both ways that you might hear

You could say I'm gay
But really I swing any way
I'm also non-binary, a they
Gender never defines you anyway

It's shocking, sincerely
How many people fear me
Either homophobic or really
Disliking the abnormal, clearly.

But it's not really me
I'm more than my sexuality
No one ever sticks around to see
That there is so much more to me

My name is Carnation Coryn Kain Salinas, But you can call me Carter. I'm a pansexual non-binary, I prefer They/Them pronouns. I'm a singer-songwriter and I play 8 instruments. I prefer to read over going out to socialize. I prefer music over people. This is because people treat me like shit for my gender and sexuality. If you have a problem with me,

Then you can leave, and please, take your idiocy with you.
