A little poem I wrote when I "came out of the closet"
I have tainted the family blood
I have tainted the family honor

I must live in shame

I can never walk with my head held high
I'm always being looked down upon

I took my happy little mask off
Hoping they'd understand
I realize
I'm not human in their eyes
I'm nothing but a monster
I'm not human in their eyes
I'm just gay

I took my little mask off
Someone please help me...
