Coming out


You entered my life to guide me

To take my hand and lead me

To free my fear and teach me

As all of this new to me

You promised to protect me

You were never meant to love me

You were never meant to stay

You saw my vulnerability

You played my generosity

Never trusted my loyalty

You stole my identity

My belief in humanity

Vowes you loved to me

Your plan was to break me
