k the format to this is horrible so yea sry for that...i wrote this for a friend or two last year so yea...n e ways just read it


What to do
What to say
People can’t know
Not next week, tomorrow or today
No one would understand
No one would hear
If they knew they’d shun me I fear
I’m frightful who I tell
Careful of whom I trust
I hide my feelings
Because keeping this secret is a must
How did I come to find
A secret like this
A secret like mine
Where to go
And how to live
Should I come into the light
Or stay in darkness
I’m part of a minority
That people think isn’t right
They vote on it
As if we’re blind
We can hear
And we can see
We ain’t stupid
It’s not a disease
It hurts to just be discussed
I mean were still people
We don’t mean to make such a fuss
We just wanna love who we do
Even though they might be the same as me or you
The Bible says that it’s a sin
And I know that it is
But murders are accepted
Why not this?
I’ve thought about changing
But I don’t know that I can
I’m not sure that I want to
Even though I have no friends
This crime causes so much hurt and pain
But yet I enjoy it
Does that make me insane?
I’m torn between two choices
Surrounded by confusion
Either way leaves me with no future
If I choose the right path
I’ll miss my old ways
I’ll be broken and torn
For the rest of my days
But if I stay the way I am
I’ll still cry at night
Wondering if God
Will accept me in his sight
I’m grateful for those that love me
For all their time and help
They’ve cried with me
My pain they’ve felt
Thanks to them
I know my way
I know my path
Its doesn’t hurt as much
I’ve made my decision at long last
A bit of love has touched my life
Now I don’t have to live in strife
With God ill never be the same
My happiness ill now reclaim

january 2006

If i had to choose between you and breathing, id use my last breath to say "I love you"

Interesting poem. I would have enjoyed it more if you didnt bring light back into at the end ^^

You also had some awesome rhymes.

Tip: Make the meter more even, for a smoother sound

Meter is like the beat per line. A.K.A the amount of syllables you have in each line.

Your meter goes from like 3-10+

Its not necessary, but to make it sound smoother, its best to keep the meter at a constant length
