Yes, I'm bisexual. Yes, I'm black. No, I'm not as "normal" as some people would like but, why should that define me. Only a few people know that I'm bi and those who know accept it but I have this one friend who just thinks I'm confused. She's cool enough for me to joke around with about my sexuality but as soon as I do she's quick to say that I'm just confused. I'm NOT confused. I don't feel the need to choose but I've been thinking and I don't care anymore. From now on I don't want to be labeled as anything else but her's (her being my wonderful girlfriend).
And about this black thing. This year I stopped hanging out with my stereotypically black friends and I started hanging out with people I think are much more like me and so much cooler. About a billion people have pointed it out. (exaggeration, of course.) But, today it was just like wtf. I was in the bathroom and this girl started talking to me. I guess I said something weird and she said, "You know what, you're not black anymore!" First of all, my name means black so what the hell does she mean that I'm not black anymore?  
From now on, concerning any other labels, I only want to be labeled as ME which is still being labeled but at least it's my label.  
Does this make sense?

It's been three weeks since I had a decent sleep,
In an empty bed with a restless head,
These thoughts are killing me so...

Yeah I get the bi thing totally. I'm not confused, it's not a phase, it will not pass. I wish people could get that into their heads!

Ignore it. You can be whoever you want to be: no-one should be limited by their race or sexuality.

Just if anyone asks, say you don't go into any category, you're just you.  But really, you can't expect no one to label you, people will always label.  Not necessarily to always be mean or condescending though, sometimes that's just a technique people use to remember certain aspects of people the meet/know.
