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...
