Which team do you play for?
Boy or Girl, wear your hair long
in jeans and t-shirt
Fixing cars and sewing dresses
Date Men or Women,
their soft skin, rough hands
curves, innies and outies
Gay or Straight
In the parade, on the sidelines
In society, and marginalized
Christian or Pagan
Loving God and Earth
Higher Power of my understanding
Daddy or Mommy
Live with which parent when they split
Be which when I become the parent
Pick a side
I am Bisexual
I am Child, Human
I am a Child of both parents
Father, Mother, God, Goddess
I am a Parent of my child
In love with Human Beings
In all their amazing ways of being
I am Bi
