Coming Out...

Coming Out...

A Poem by Chris Dominguez
"

A time where I told my brother about my sexuality... it didn't go to well.

"
On a very rare occasion  
I went out eating with my brother 
A question occurs 

Are you gay 

I freeze 
My heart stops 
Words that I don't believe could have been asked 
I contemplate on what to say 
Knowing I had to give an answer 

Yes 

That was all I could say 
Look of disappointment across my brother's face 
He couldn't understand 
He didn't want to understand 

You're stupid 

That was the reply 
I went silent and carried on 
I came out 
Or more like I was outed 

Being outed 
Was not what I expected 
 Even more of being called stupid 
It made me feel bad 
Retreat 
Not wanting to ever come out
