a poem about coming out to others |
Coming out Coming out is the hardest thing to do it takes a lot of courage it takes a lot of confidence you don't know how people would react to it you don't know if you can trust them not to tell Trust plays a major role in whom you come out to telling the people you know best leaving everyone else ignorant hoping that they wont abandon you hoping they wont stab you in the back Knowing that you're secret is frowned upon knowing that it is considered a sin being told you are going to hell because of how you feel being told that you are diseased, just because you're not like everyone else that it is just a phase and you are just confused having people believe that you can be cured it is not a choice that you make it is who you are you cant change who you are you cant change who you like you can only hope to keep your friends and family you can only hope to be supported expecting to be rejected as a person expecting to be frowned upon You cant be open about who you are you have to pretend that you are normal only open to a select few whom you know wont care who will always like you for who you are as a person, never for who you like coming out is the hardest thing because once you tell someone there is no going back you cant tell someone and then say you were lying you have to bear the consequences face the discrimination placed upon you the reality is that no one should be treated differently for having different views if everyone is 'equal' then why is it so controversial to come out? |
