I had a choice.
Blood lines
consisting of DNA
strands that I can
pick and choose;
a grab bag of
- consistent love
- infinite respect
- understanding
who would never let me
down.
I wish
I had a choice.
Not relations thrown
in my face,
expectations
hypocrisy or
the solitude
of being
the functioning
normal
sane one...
just a
- normal
- loving
- understanding
to belong in.
