Sexuality defines who we are.

This Girl I Have To Be
by Barbara Lynn Terry


They are tired of reading about my sexuality,
That I should write about another eventuality,
But my sexuality is all I have today,
Making me sad in such a way,
That stops me from being happy and carefree.
If only I could be this girl I so much need to be,
I would forever be so grateful you see,
As I live the life that was meant for me.

Oh let me be so free and wild,
This girl inside that is still a child,
Who yearns to break free,
For all the world to see.


Please let me be understood,
Not treated like a piece of wood,
That is so much sawdust,
Because to be the girl I must,
The life I live should be just,
And others should really see,
That this girl I have to be.

Beautifully said Barbie. You are the girl you have always wanted to be. I hear it through your words.

You go! You decide what you think and write about and who are and will be. You must never let anyone take that from you.
Love & Peace,

To me you are the girl you wish to be. We read who you are inside and although I know your sexuality is a struggle and you have to contend with the moral judgments of others, the best advice I can give is those words you speak out so often...BE the girl you have to be.
God's richest blessings to you.

You write about this as much and for as long as you want to! I am very, very proud of you. What courage you have! And your heart is unmatched.

Be the girl you must and have to be for this is all we have as real women. Write iot and i will read it. Share it and it will be explored. Tell it and it will be spread.

Something I have learned (the hard way) is that many people are offended by things that they simply do not understand. That you have had the courage to be completely free and honest in your writing is admirable.

Do not let anyone shame you into silence. Creative writing is about being CREATIVE. Remember what Oscar Wilde said, "There is no such thing as a moral or immoral book. Books are well written or badly written. That is all." The same applies to poetry.

Peace and Love,

Marisha

Good write and as Elizabeth said the next chapter is up to you now to continue on, I must say though that the newer writes you did that were non sex related were wonderful stuff. Keep up the faith Barbie.

Excellent poem, Barbie! I have been praying for you, little sis. You've had a difficult road, but you'll get there, just have faith.
Much love,
