First things first. That poem was amazing. Creativity is inside every one of us, that we take it for a ride often, that is another matter. Thanks for sharing it here, I certainly don't feel comfy sharing my poems to everyone. So yeah, to be your first poem you poured feelings and your worries in it, which gives it a sense of warmth for those who can sympathize with it. ^^

Thank you very much!! I wanted to share it here because I thought some people may relate to it.

I wrote an aromantic poem. I dont consider myself a very creative person and this is the first poem I've ever written but I wanted to write it to convey some of my feelings. Anyway, here it is:

Space Aro

I feel lost.
Like an astronaught drifting through space.
All I can see are spaceships.
But I am floating in the endless void.
I don't have a spaceship.
I can't experience the wonders of stars.
Am I destined to stray like this forever?
Alone.
Or will a comet streak across the sky?
Answers will only come with time.
Only then will my planet arrive.

I don't think that anyone around me really believes me when I say that I'm aromantic. They pretend to accept it, out of respect, but still hope or think that I am wrong.

This includes my parents, best friends and therapist.

Time is unrelated as I'm over 30 now. I just do as always: continue living my life the way I want even if this makes me look 'weird' to others.

I believe you! Continue living your life and dont worry too much on what others think.

My friends (some of them are lgbt) accepted me without question. I didn't tell my parents yet because I don't believe they'll understand (they're amazing but somewhat old fashioned). 

I'm a young adult so I think they're waiting for me to get a partner... 

Some of my friends accepted me without question too. I didn't think my parents would understand and... they haven't so far. I hope they will eventually realise it when i never get a partner.

That must be cool to find someone in the same boat as you. I dont know anyone else who is aro so it can feel a bit lonely at times. One of my friends who asked me out a couple years ago didnt take it so well but thats probably due to her having crushes that she talks about all the time. I dont think she can comprehend not having romantic feelings.

Hello everyone, hope you are all having a nice day and are staying at home.

I come from england and i'm 17 years old. At the moment i identify as gay + aromantic and use he/him they/them pronouns. Im still trying to figure myself out as i only figured out i was gay less than a year ago and aromantic a couple months ago. I think labels are confusing and despite being 17 i havent fully matured yet. I understand that i just have to be patient and only time will reveal my true labels.

I came out to my mum and told her i was aromantic at the same time. I had to explain to her what it was. She accepted me as gay but dismissed the aromantic part of me as a phase, but i dont blame her. .

I have 2 dogs and a cat (they are all very cute), i love nintendo and i love everyone in the lgbt+ community. You are valid, i love you and stay safe! 

Hey there! Im not very confident too and im still trying to figure out my labels. Im also a big fan of nintendo and i hope you fully find what labels truly suit you!
