Dear Future Me
Dear Future Me,
There is a path you'll want to see. And yea it starts with me
For 15 year we been hiding in the sheets and at 16 we went free.
Can't say it's not great, can't say there was no pain
But as time went it was all just a game
Freshmen year was when you knew it, that being straight wasn't in you
Scared to tell your mother so you hind it and kept denying it
Days go by and then weeks and months, Hey now we are in a slump
You have lost your love ones day in and day out
Trying to find words and not to shout
The day comes to tell you mother, scared under the covers
Scared of being denied and unwanted
You feel a pain deep in your stomach
It's time to face the fact, so you stop being a brat
You tell her the truth and let her know this is you
But to your surprise she still loves you
So before you go changing yourself, and making everyone else happy
Remember your mother loves you, straight or gay
It's one more thing I want to say
Live your life, the gay way
Love Always,
Me
