Coming out

How is fair 

That we have to hide 

Who we love

If we feel feminine, masculine, neither, or somewhere in-between

Why do we have to be afraid

Of being ourselves

Why do we get bullied, shut out, and abandoned

For saying how we feel

We shouldn’t be

This is a problem

Why do we need to be scared about coming out

Telling our parents

 Shouldn”t be something that can leave us with no roof over our heads

Telling your classmates

Shouldn’t give them reasons to bully you

Telling your friends

Shouldn’t make you afraid of losing them,

You shouldn’t have to hide

You shouldn’t have to be afraid

You are perfect no matter what

And that will never change
