I am Sorry


I'm sorry

I'm sorry I like girls 

I probably failed you

In this world boys date boys

I am sorry for being straight

I know this comes as a shock my mothers

And I will be able to have children

I have a girlfriend

In a world where homophobes turn on themselves

We live in that world 

Where man turns against man

Because of our sexuality

I am sorry I am straight

I am sorry I am gay

I am sorry but we are humans and humans are all equal

So oops not sorry

Don't come out of the closet

Burn the closet for making you hide

Don't be sorry for who you love

I am sorry I am a human

Straight or Gay
