Mixed Emotions

Coming Out

Mom I know I'm not the best kid you had

But you love me even though I'm bad

This next thing I'm about to say might make you kinda sad

And Probably kinda mad

But it's tearing me up inside

It's something I'm done tryna hide

Mom I'm sorry

But I like girls and guys

I know you don't agree

But I'ma wear my pride

This isn't wrong or right

And I don't want us to fight

It's gonna be alright

Dad's no longer alive

But he would have wanted to see me happy

And see me strive

But Mom you need to know

The way I feel doesn't always show

You may not know what to say

but hey

There is no reason

This isn't something that changes with the season

But I'ma keep believing

One day people will understand

And it won't be wrong for the same same gender to hold hands

Mom I can't change this is who I am

We aren't different

Can the world give us a chance

Mom I know you may not approve

And I'm sorry for the things that I do

But who you love isn't something you can choose

Mom I'm afraid to lose you

I don't wanna keep hating my life

The judgement hurts like a knife

But Mom a better future is near

One where I can love myself

And other women

And no one would care

I see people for who they are

I know for some people that may be hard

In this closet I can't breath

But this is who I am can't you see

Mom this is another part of me

I know you might need time to grieve

But this is the person that I'm meant to be

As a parent your love should be free

Not earned by my sexuality

This isn't something that changes with the season

But I'ma keep believing

One day people will understand

And it won't be wrong for the same same gender to hold hands

Mom I can't change this is who I am

We aren't different

Can the world give us a chance
