Coming Out


I have had tough times before,
sometimes i panic and shut the door.
Never have i been so scared in my life,
and caused such anger and strife.

You see...I came Out today,
that's what all the fuss is about.
My family can do nothing now,
but cry, scream and shout.

I thought i could hide it,
I was prepared to do just that.
But i am in love now,
tis' the reason for our chat.

So if you cannot accept us,
just please know this much.
What is keeping me together,
is the warmth of her touch.

I have done a lot of good in my life,
and yet this is all you see.
You can only see hatred,
you cannot see me.

The thing you need to know,
is that i will not and cannot change.
Loving a woman is what's in my heart,
that's not something i can rearrange.

I understand this poem more than you
know. I too am gay, and I know how hard
it can be. But I'm glad to see you had
the courage to be who you are and to be
free. Your family will understand in time.
Either way it is YOUR life, so live it, we
only get one chance. Take care.

"love is like a butterfly--
if you chase it,
it will surely fly away,instead
hold it close and watch it grow into
something beautiful"
