I\'ve known it since I was twelve,
I finally discovered my true self.
I found I was bisexual and not straight,
For this , I would get an abundance of my mother\'s hate .
It\'s ironic now that I think of it,
My religious and homophobic mother,
Had her only child turn out atheist and gay ,
For her, people of my kind are filth and we should suffer,
If she found out , I wonder what she would say.
I haven\'t told her yet ,
For I fear for my safety,
She\'d prefer her daughter be dead , but not gay instead.
But despite all of this,
I would like to tell you mother, that I\'m proud,
I\'m not ashamed,
I will stand tall and I will be loud.
I won\'t burn myself just so you can be warm ,
I will brew up a storm .
I\'m proud of who I am, mother,
Even though you might not be happy with who I\'ve become,
But to your hatred , I refuse to succumb. 🌈
