Coming Out
My identity is what I hide
So that no one can deny
Taking me away from the things that I love
Taking me from way high up above
Putting me in a place of hate
Somewhere I can't relate
My sexuality is what I fear
Hopefully they don't come near
Girls Girls are everywhere
It's not my fault that I stare
Their beauty and smile
I think I should wait a while
Oh no I think it's coming
I sit back humming
I can't take it anymore
"I'm Gay Hooray"
I have no more to say
I came out what a relief
It was such a grief
My identity is what I hide
Now no one can deny.

I wrote this piece because there was a day in my life where my stepmom found out I was gay. She told me I was too pretty for that and it wasn't right. Ever since that day I felt that it was bad and I would hide it from people. Now that I look at it I don't care anymore. If she can't accept oh well. When she told me it that made me feel worthless and now I don't know.
