Dear MOM,


 

Dear MOM,

I know I never said this,

But i see your face and understand it ,

hatred.

Im Gay MOM.

Just face it,

you cant change it.

I know you said you would come to my wedding.

Admit it , it wont be a man,

ill be holding ,HER,a woman's hand.

Im sorry i wont be your perfect daughter.

I guess i'm a disappointment like my no good father.

Tell him i'm happy he did a hit it and quick

my graduation is next year, I know who's not getting a ticket.

Im sorry I never sat on daddy lap.

But daddy wasn't there

he never will be why others can?

Mom thats not fair.

Tell my brother I know he disapprove.

shun me out for being a lesbian yeah mom he's a good dude.

Tell my grandma I know she mad because you didn't abort me.

Im not a sin i was the 5th so why is she mad at me and only me, theres no adultery. 

Mom Im sorry I didn't  stay in the closet.

It was cold in there.

my monsters were chasing me

they dehumanized me and even shaved my hair.

so mom i know you love me and your my MOTHER

but if i have kids i don't want them to be gay,

tell me mom is that fair.?
