My heart is shining

"This shiny gem on my chest

is my heart. 

And it's beating for everyone I love and everyone who deserve love but can seem to get enough, my heart beats for them.

It's sitting on my chest

exposed to everyone

and everyone is looking at it

staring at it

fascinated

some of them

touching it.

And I don't want that,

this is my heart, not an actual gemstone one can just grab

it's not like any gemstone

it's priceless 

can never be sold

and belongs to me, and me only

no one else can have it.

people thinking of it as an attraction 

make me feel ill and uncomfortable.

I'm just as normal as you are

I'm not special and I don't want to be treated that way.

I'm not hiding it because I'm not ashamed of it.

I'm a boy

with a shining heart."
