Losing to Gain


Dear Family, 

Losing you is the thing I fear,

But I need to make this very clear.

I didn't fall for a different sex.

Yah, I know, you fully object. 

All you want for me is a man,

and if I'm with her, from this house I'll be banned.

It sucks to always fake it,

I really hate to lie,

but I'm just trying to make it,

and get to starting my own life.

I'm happy with her,

Would you rather me cry?

I think you'd rather me be hurt,

as long as I'm with a guy.

Here's the thing though, I love her,

and thats not gonna change.

So I guess I'll fake it till I make it

If that's what it takes.

I love all of you with every piece of my heart.

I hope that one day we can get a new start.

-Your Daughter/Sister
