This is an old poem that I wasn't sure about publishing, but with time you realise some things just have to be said.
See the thing is that I'm lying
Pretending and covering up
Can tell you that I'm joking
But friend, I'm really not
Maybe you're gonna hate me
Be frightened, angry, hurt
But pride is my emotion
Once I forget the fear in my head
'Cause I'm different, abnormal, strange
Live a life most can't comprehend
Although it hurts to be so isolated
I won't, can't and shouldn't change who I am
It's difficult and hard
Both for me and you
But I'll respect your opinion
Just so long as you love me too
Now I feel like honesty
So sick of hiding all the signs
Maybe then I'll smile more
When I've shown who I am inside
See the thing is that I'm gay
These feelings aren't gonna stop
You can threaten me with Hell to pay
But straight I'm really not
