I Just Wish He Knew

When I was born I used to play with dolls My dad never understood my “issue” Not like a normal boy who plays with balls He garbaged my dolls I needed a tissue Throughout my childhood I heard the word gay I never understood what that word meant After I knew, the word ruined my day I wanted to cry and hide in a tent I would share this with everyone in class Please understand why I chose to refuse They would all act up and act like an ass Some of my peers would think I am confused Discussing it with family is hard Telling my mom, our relationship grew Once, I prayed to God wishing for a guard Seeing my father; I just wish he knew
