People don't always understand,
This isn't something that I just decided on,
It took a lot of soul searching,
And I was very scared to bring it out into the open
For fear of being rejected.
So to answer the questions I've heard:
Just because you haven't heard of it,
Doesn't make it any less real.
No, there is nothing wrong with me.
No, I do not need to wait for the right person to come along
Nor do I feel like my life is lessened.
It is my life, and I live it how I please.
I am not defective in any way,
And do not need your false pity or
Your condescension.
It doesn't define me,
But it is part of my whole definition.
I am still a person.
I don't hate love.
I would be happy to find someone,
But I would be just as happy alone.
I love myself.
And that's good enough for me.
