I have a secret I want you to know But how do I tell you? I don't know This I have known for years on end Behind your back I've done this yet you haven't caught on I'm not like other girls I'm not ashamed though You will not like it You will disown me No longer will I be the daughter you know and love no longer will I shine the same way in your eyes My sexuality is of question I know what it is You think you know but you don't you hurt me with the things you say Why can't I be open? Why must you hate what I am? You say so many hurtful things I hate you I hope you die! Accept me for who I am! [edited] you mom! [edited] you dad! Accept me Love me Know me Please don't disown me Please don't disown me Please don't leave me Just accept me I am who I am I'm still the same But different In your eyes < !signature--> "We can not truely love someone with whom we never laugh"- Agnes Repplier [This message has been edited by Kit McCallum (edited 11-06-2000).] |

Oh well it seems that your secret seems to be an in-the-closet sort of thing. Well I think thats ok with me. But about the poem, you're going to get in trouble with the profanity. You're not alloud to disguise a word with an astrix.... good poem though!  "I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust." I hate your socks. I'd like to burn them! |

You've expressed some incredibly strong emotions in this LiqwidNik ... I do hope you will be able to talk to your parents and let them know how you are feeling. They may not be aware how badly you are hurting. Best wishes, /Kit Please note that I was required to edit out the profanity, as it is not allowed in the guidelines, even disguised with symbols. |

If this is from your life (which I'm guessing but am pretty sure it is), I hope that your parents come to love you for who you are, not who they think you should be. You are you, and I hope they realize this. This poem seemed to show anger but now that I think about it, it seems more like sadness. You really want for your parents to accept you. Well expressed poem, it's good writing! "Disagreements stimulate thought, thought stimulates action, and action stimulates life." --Me!! |

give your parents a little time. not all people react the same way to situations you know. it's probably initial shock. You have to remember that parents also have dreams for their children. There is nothing wrong with that. Give them some time, let it sink in, see what happens after that. Thanks for sharing this really emotional poem. keep sharing I see no changes, wake up in the morning I ask myself, "Is life worth living or should I blast myself" TUPAC SHAKUR |

I totally agree with acire, parents are weird like that. they take a long time to adjust to new situations, as if it were a part of growing old or something. i'm glad that you were open enough to post your secret and to tell your parents about it. Hope everything turns out ok  Curly "So many tears i've cried, so much pain inside" -Lenny Kravitz |

Heh...your talking about me, right? Totally seems like it, I am a bi-sexual and at the moment, I am totally happy with my boyfriend. Its possible to be "normal" even if you question your sexuality...when I first told people my boyfriend(at the time) looked at me and said "You haven't done anything about it have you?" like it was wrong to be attracted to a girl. this poem had the exact emotion I was feeling that day. he made me feel like I was going to go to hell...I mean, its not my fault that I've had those feelings, I mean, for as long as I can remember I knew something wasnt right about me, I tried to be a boy, I knew I was a girl, but I always wanted to be a boy. But now that I've found such a wonderful boyfriend, I don't really think about that much anymore Good Luck!!
