Dear family...

Hello all, I must confess,
I’ve lied to you for years,
About this life that I lead
It leaves me with pain and tears.

I felt like I should cover up,
The feeling that I own,
But now I feel like a liar,
I feel lost and alone.

Mummy- I know your struggling,
To accept who I’ll always be,
But it’s now time I told the world,
And I know it’s up to me.

Daddy- you try to hide it,
But Mummy says you know,
Even though we don’t talk about it,
You ignore it so.

Brother- you have no idea,
I’ve hinted this along the way,
But your innocence led to beliefs,
You don’t understand what I say.

And my aunts, uncles and cousins
I’ve been lying to you,
To my Grandfathers and Grandmothers
You don’t have a clue.

Your assumptions are misleading,
They take you the wrong way,
So now you’ve got to learn the truth,
Dear family, I am gay.
