Punching walls has never been my thing
Because I know what type of pain it'll bring
I'm not against violence
But it is against me
Against my entire being
I know how fucking insane
I have to be to believe that
Somewhere out there is a person
Just for me and that when I feel
No, when I know I've finally found her
She's ripped away like Velcro
Maybe I should have stuck with laces
But Velcro is harder to replace,
Maybe at a different time,
I could stand tall and hold her hand
And say hey I'm gay, so I don’t care
What you say about me or about her
And I could come out again today but when I did
For the first time it was like
Talking to a brick wall
But two brick walls that I look like
2 bricks walls that raised me
Not very well,
But yeah they were here
And I should be grateful to have them
And maybe in some alternate universe I am
Maybe in some other place, they are better people
Maybe in that other universe, I am better
Because of them
But in this one they hunt and haunt me
Like monsters
They stalk me, mentally and emotionally execute me
Until I come back to pick up my pieces and do it all again
and I wonder if I was raised by brick walls;
if these 2 brick walls gave me life,
can I ever be anything other than a brick wall
can I be made of straw or sticks
easily crashing down but not easily drowned
not so heavy, so much lighter than bricks
instead of an anchor can I ever float and be at ease?
The problem with coming out is,
it opens up doors and asks questions
you never knew existed.

Such a beautiful use of language! I really enjoyed reading your poem.
Maybe you want to check on mine too? I'd be happy if you leave a comment. I'ts always exiting to know what other people like about your work. 🙂
Thanks! and YES of course, I would love to check out your work and I'm glad you enjoyed mine 🙂
A daft comment from me, though it's a real situation.
Well, I was going to come out. But it started raining, so I went back in! Doh! lol.
Hope that's not killed the 'atmosphere' of the poem altogether.
LOL. No, it didn't kill the atmosphere🤣
Conservative people can be very close minded and adamant. People should be able to embrace each other’s differences
I completely agree
If you've got to come out, you've got to come out. If it bothers others, tough, get used to it. It's not like you can go back in.
Exactly 🙂 Thank you for saying that 🥰
Step into the light. Embrace yourself sooner rather than later.
I enjoyed your poem. Well written and well done. 😊
Thank you 😀
Love your poem. I have family members and friends who are gay and I love them just the same as I always have. I'm sorry you have people in your life that don't understand and I'm sure it is hard for you to have them distance themselves / reject you. Stay strong, believe in yourself and have faith.
I think it's very admirable that you love them regardless, you´re a good person. and thank you, I am glad you liked my poem it really means a lot, and while yes it is hard, I am going to try to stay strong and believe in myself. Thanks for the encouraging words
