I’m Asexual 

I have no desires for intimacy

Don’t need to spend the night to know what real love feels like

Dont pop my bubble, I just want to cuddle

No one knows I exist

No one cares I feel this way

”you’re broken” ; “you don’t know better” ; “I wouldn’t want you as my girlfriend”

But I’m just as valid

You wouldn’t understand how I feel

Unless you’re the same way

Gay communities are getting accepted while we’re still unknown and unheard of

its time to rise

I want to see our flag colors in stores

I want to love my partner without any intimacy

I want to be accepted as who I am

But know that this doesn’t define me

Because I know the truth.

Because I know I’m Valid.

Because I know I’m not broken

I’m worthy of your love no matter what flag I have

I’m Asexual and just know that you’re not alone.

Call me Anonymous M. I will talk about my personal problems and things that us teens would heavily relate to. I would like to remain anonymous for the time being however, in time, I’ll reveal who I am.
