Puzzled Mind

It's about when people decide to 'come out the closet' and all of the uncertainties and doubts that build up before hand

What's the struggle in my puzzled mind

Is it down to nurture or simply biology

Everything I've known is possibly wrong

All that we're shown, incorrect all along

Trying to make sense of my affections

My attractions to the same sex

Do my friends know

Do my parents understand

All of this confusion

Kept in my shaking hands

Who am I to fall in love with

Is it her or is it him

It doesn't help when I've been told

To be myself is to sin

All the possibilities and nothing remains

I can't help but question my own mind

All that I've tried to comprehend

Is just making me crazy in the end

Trying to deal with my genetics

And love for a wonderful man

Do my friends still love me

Does my brother reject my path

If I'm built in a god's image

Why should I face his wrath?

Who am I to fall in love with

Is it her or is it him

It doesn't help when I've been told

To be myself is to sin

I'll let myself be truthful to the world

After so many years of uncertainty

The toxic reactions from ignorant enemies

Will soon cease to hurt 

Who am I to fall in love with

Is it her or is it him

It doesn't help when I've been told

To be myself is to sin

It feels as it speaks from the heart all poetry should have the type of depth that you have confounded in this explicitly beautiful brilliant piece. 100 wonderfully done.
