Please Forgive Me
I don't want to hide.
I don't want to be the outcast.
I long to be "normal."
I long to be excepted.
I can not stand to hide for another day.
I can not stand to hide my love for her.
Its just so hard.
I'm longing for a day when this is what is acceptable to everyone and not just a selected few.
I'm tired of the stereotyping.
I'm tired of everyone playing the experimental game with me.
I long for love; true, real, ever-lasting love.
Mom I want you to meet the woman I love; please do not turn your back on your own daughter just because she is not like the rest.
I want you to be happy for me please I'm begging you.
I want you to meet her like you met my brothers wife.
Please stop the screaming.
Please forgive me.
Fine I will go back into the closet.
Fine I will live that "perfect normal" life you want me to.
Just please forgive me...
