Sense Sonnet - Steamer

Out Smart

I see my sexuality
As part of why and who I am,
And should be kept in privacy -
Not subjected to cross exam.
Whether I'm gay or bi or straight
Should be of little relevance.
The labels only can create
Confinement due to circumstance.
If acts or health of mine cause threat,
Then that is something to make known.
But otherwise, a news out let
Lays one bare to the nosy prone.

When people ask me if I'm gay.
"With doubt an out," is what I say.
