A Wound That Never Heals

I went through a lot my freshman year, and it turns out o be what I fear.
In my dreams,
Hearing my parents internal screams

I had a secret I couldn't tell,
It felt as if I was condemned to hell.
They said they always knew,
Some how there was always a clue.

They asked me”why, why you?”
"Because I'm trying to be true."
I didn't know how to make them see,
That who I am is really me.

They asked me to change,
Because to them it seemed so strange.
They said it was so bad,
Loosing all the respect they had.

If me being a lesbian, causes them so much pain,
Then why do they put me through the same.
It has me thinking it's not so fair,
Causing me all this heartache and despair.

It makes me not know where to turn
Which makes my girlfriend live in concern.
but I love her with all my heart
always knowing nothing will tear us apart.

so if my parents cant except the fact,
that who i am is not an act.
then they'll learn how it feel,
to have a wound that never heals
