I Prefer Girls by Sky Flower

I will not claim I'm straight

Nor will I claim I'm bi

Pansexual is rarely used

Asexual takes too much time to explain

I am not gay

But it seems that way because I simply prefer girls

Not to say I couldn't be with a man…

I've been with a few, more than I can count on one hand

I guess

Sexuality is such a mess

But they just expect you to tie yourself to a label

I feel like I'm lying if I claim any as mine

My sexuality is evolving all the time

It's fluid

Like a river that runs down my cheeks asking "is this me, is this me?"

A question that gives my not so accepting distant family a hope

That I will go back to men and stick with them but I won't

Because I simply prefer girls

I don't need to go into my libido

Or my sexual past

Abuse I've had

Relationships that made me mad and still effect me now

I do not need to tell you how I cam to this place

I just am who I am

And if you ask me again, I'll repeat what I said

No, I don't need a scale

And I'm not just confused

I simply Prefer girls

Welcome Everyone!

This is a blog for artists. My name is Christina Osborn. I'm a songwriter living on the edge of the Mojave Desert in a small town famous for its magnificent red rock canyons. I have often felt that my analog outpouring of ideas was futile, especially in the digital world we now find ourselves in. Scraps of paper with poetry scribbled on them were forgotten in boxes, stacks of unseen paintings built up, fragments of songs remained half in and half out of the ether. My friends and  I spend enough time on our little creations that I wondered what the point was unless someone could see them. I could never have launched such an effort on my own behalf, so I thank the artists that have inspired me here in the desert, the writers and poets and painters and musicians that will appear here on this blog. In the words of my friend Taylor Stucki, 

"Everything flows back to the point from whence it came.

'Til another soul picks up the torch and starts with new name."

This is the beginning. We are under construction and I suppose we always will be. Keep coming back and we shall have new creations up as we create them. Thank you for providing us with a reason to do what we do.
