From the 8th grade me
Finally, a fresh start in a new school,
I was nervous starting middle school,
just from what I heard from other kids.
Seventh grade was a terrible mystery and
eighth grade was a far-off dream.
Going from class to class, days on end,
it always felt like an eternity.
Gym class was required both years I was at that school.
It was the first time I ever saw another guy's body.
I felt the chemicals in my brain firing off at once.
The way it looked, the smell that filled the locker room
how beautiful the face of my classmates.
I didn't understand it, I thought I was going crazy.
Was I... attracted to men?
Nah, I thought, it is just a phase I'll grow out of.
My battle with my brain had started
and so, began the biggest struggle of my life...
A prolonged battle I was unprepared to fight...
But I would do it alone...
