Being Gay 🏳️‍🌈

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. 🌈
