Accepting

Admitting to myself the
Truth is hard enough.
I just dont think I can tell
The world who I want to love.

Even though one day ill have to
Right now I just want to start out small.
If you can call it that
When shes the most important of all.

Approaching her with a tear stained face
She simply ask "Whats wrong?".
Little does she know shes not going to
Like the secret Ive held for so long.

I squeeze her hand so tight stating
"I cant help, but be this way".
Tears form in her eyes as I
Release the words "Mom, I'm gay".
