Late Blooming Lesbian Quotes

“No more folding into someone else's arms
like a polite lie.
Forget making space in my mouth
for words that don't fit.
I think about the women—
all the women—
who felt like the first deep breath
after too many held.
The ones who looked at me
like I was a watery reflection
and finally,
I looked back.”

“I’ve got stories under my skin—
women whom I’ve adored in silence,
to whom I’d offer my whole being if they asked.

Peel my heart open like ripe mangos in August
or Post-its left in prayer rooms.
After de-converting, I sought repentance,
relentless in my search for a cure
in a man,
longing for a "he" to dim the light in my eye
that sparkles for curvy silhouettes and sharp tongues.
But I found no one.

My heart ached with an emptiness,
my soul bellowing in darkness
it didn’t need to endure.”
