Disapointment for being Gay!

by Ashley Washer   Dec 7, 2004


I failed you,
disappointed you,
but that was never,
what I wanted to do.

The lifestyle that I choose,
you don't agree with,
you just think,
it's some kind of myth.

I'm so sorry,
but this is just who I am,
I've tried to change,
but when I did,
my life became dim.

I was to scared of what you would think,
that I didn't worry about others,
which was a mistake,
because what they did to me,
it felt like it was unreal, even fake.

I came home bloody and bruised,
I told you I just got in a fight,
you asked how it started,
all I could do was lie about that night.

I couldn't tell you the truth,
that it was a gay bashing,
you would of been even more disappointed,
and I would of started crying.

From that moment on,
I kept lying more, and more,
you believed every one of those lies,
and my heart was tore.

I keep failing you,
and I don't know how to stop,
I feel like I'm the biggest disappointment,
and that will never stop,
not for one single moment.

I disappointed you in so many ways,
my grades, friends, cloths,
but I think the biggest way,
I have ever disappointed you,
is in my choice to be gay.

    I like this poem. i know how you feel because i to try to hide the fact that i am a lesbian. i'm so scared of what people will think and how my family will react that i just can't let them know the truth. last year when i had a girlfriend they knew she was my girlfriend and they freaked out. my parents are really religous and it bugs them a lot. without andrea here to help me stay strong i just can't let them know that i choose to be gay. i like being gay even it dosn't bother me one little bit. i just wish i had the strength to tell them the truth and stop trying to hide behind guys that say they love me because i'm not only hurting them but myself also...

    Awesome poem, I'm recently in turmoil in this area, I think I may be bi or lesbian, but I just don't know...I think Bi if anything, I just I find myself attracted to girls, not so much the Girl itself but the warmth, compassion and tenderness of a girl, that well most guys dont have.lol.
