THE PROBLEMS OF BEING GAY


Can't talk to my parents 

   They just don’t understand 

The struggle I now go through 

      They are so old fashioned 

They no longer see me 

      They see a total stranger 

Why must they not understand 

        Why do they shut me out? 

Why do they hate me? 

        For being who I am 

I’m still the same kid 

        I have not changed 

The only difference is now they know 

         That I'm gay
