Im not sorry mom

April 29, 2019

I'm sorry I have disappointed you, mom You think it was so sudden like a bomb It wasn't for me And that I can guarantee I have taken time to know for sure That I don't need a cure Love is not a choice And I will not let you stop my voice I used to hate who I was because of you But now I am no longer blue I hope you wish to still be in my life this day But I will not change to make you stay I'm sorry you are disappointed with who I love But I am not sorry mom because love is love

This poem is about me growing up in a homophobic family and learning to love myself and knowing that there is nothing wrong with who I am. I used to be homophobic so realizing that I myself am lesbian was really hard, I went through a really dark time where I wanted to kill myself, I was lucky enough to find friends who loved me for who I was and helped me to accept myself and know that I deserve better.
