A DIFFERENT KIND OF YOLK
When I was a kid I remember feeling different then
my folks,
You could say my egg had a different kind of yolk.
I was angry, rude, hyper and high-strung,
I spoke how I felt never held my tongue.
I was constantly getting into fights,
My mom would ground me she tried to set me right.
I always felt like there was something wrong with
me,
I was loud, causing trouble never low key.
As I grew older the problem got bigger,
Cocked and loaded, finger on the trigger.
Puberty arrived and she stuck her head out,
Six-grade camp a girl I was crazy about.
We had to be cautious big trouble if caught,
We would sneak away to our favorite spot.
I thought my heart would explode in my chest,
From that first kiss I knew I was possessed.
We got caught making out our parents blew a fuse,
They told us it's not normal and there is no excuse.
We paid no attention it was puppy love,
She was the only thing I could think of.
I remember feeling different then my folks,
You could say my egg had a different kind of yolk…

About this poem
About coming to terms on coming out. A scary thing for most of us. It is better then it use to be, still people fear what they do not understand. Homosexuality is still frowned on by a lot of people.
