I am GAY

by Alexisjsanchez

So i have recently decided that , I Am Gay !

And while most will wear that like a hundred pound backpack,

or pack back what they think they know.

While some may sweep it under the rug,

I, Me , i just don't give a fu--.

You see some may see their gayness as an ocean they can't even scream help from,

but mine is the dawn.

Some call it coming out the closet,

but I've always shared one.

So I don't think I ever came out.

I've never had doubts.

I still like donuts

but i do not like the colorful sprinkle.

I love to dance in the rain,

but don't wait around to see the rainbow.

I'll reach for the heavens, but because my heaven is here.

Mixed with hell.

I will get the taste of my finger tips touching heaven light,

but my feet will scrap hell floors , right?

Iwill have to climb mountains with that hundred pound backpack,

just to get to hills, and still stumble down.

I'll carry every comment made to me in that bag, and one day it'll burst.

And all the dykes and fags,

all the sinners and devils children will be released.

I will only wish you took the time to understand,

that I am gay.

I have stitched a smile across my face,

and learned to tattoo a heart on my chest.

Behind a bulletproof vest,

because shots are fired everyday.

I will be that mouse that finds a way to stay.

I'll be that whiskey you want to set down,

but you want to absorb its strength,

that car that goes two-hundred-and three

but you can't seem to even get it to go straight.

Because I'm not.

I won't ever say "I'm straight as a whistle," or "a ruler"

because I'll say I'm as straight as the last gay,

because all the fags and dykes can take the bullshit.

But I will learn to walk around it.

I will not allow myself to step in lies,

and lie down in it.

I will not see a beautiful meadow and sit on the sidewalk,

just because there is a sign that says "God's children only"

because You are not God.

But i however I have came to conclusion that I Am Gay.

And when my children ask why They have two mothers,

I will say because I only ever had one.

My daughters will learn to love massively and live drastically,

but to wear knee pads, and a helmet.

Because they will catch themselves shaking a couple of times.

And my sons, my sons, will have a heart of gold.

They will know what it's like to be a women.

Because women are as men, or strong because we Win-Man .

My life is a spiderweb of situation that haven't work themselves out

but "going through a phase" isn't one.

I’m going through a change.

I have boobs,

probably not a butt,

but i break out when i eat sugar too.

I know the names of planets in the solar system,

and I may not know the square root of pi ,

but I know how to bake a pie.

And I'll teach my kids not to lie.

I will tell them you don't need eyes

to see the beauty in things.

I'll show my sons to think with their heads,

and not their heads.

But when they don't, they'll know protection.

But with this all I am gay.

And I am saying it in every way.
