the easiest thing in the world
look:
it's easy
for me to sit here and say
to shout or you'll pay
with your guilt
with your regret
shout the words out
i say
what could go wrong
i say.
the answer, i'm afraid
is everything.
it's everything:
a boot to the ass,
a lowering of class,
a metaphorical punch to the face,
how dare you disgrace
us.
how dare you disgrace us,
how dare you love
who you love
because love
is conditional.
our love,
it's conditional.
do you see:
how hard it can be?
it was hard for me
too, hard for me
to open my mouth
to shout
to shout
to shout.
look:
it's easy
for me to sit here and say
just tell them.
just tell them:
"i'm gay."
