Out

vanessa wallace

How could I say it?

How could I explain it to you?

I don't know how to tell you

You accepted my sister

Who said you won't do the same for me?

But the fear never subsides

I'm always fearing that you will perceive me differently 

Simply based on my sexual orientation

I like all, not one

It seems simple to say

Simple to accept

But to a lot of people out there

Your sexuality means a lot

That's why I'm scared of coming out

  • Comment from author about the poem: This poem is based on my fear of coming out as pansexual to my family, specifically my mother. She accepted my sister when she came out as a lesbian, but I'm still afraid. I don't know how I'll tell her, or if I even will.
