Not alone

pains of being LGBT for some...

He looked at me with fear in his eyes,

as I told him the truth.

I was in love with a person, 

that he would never accept.

I told him to respect me as his son,

but he could only see the sin that he believed I was.

This is why I moved out early, 

into the scary world out there.

I had to learn to deal with things, 

like abuse and violence and fear.

The man in my life is my only hope, 

in the world that has given me nothing.

Nothing but pain and misery and sorrow,

for just being who I am.

I love him, and he loves me,

why can't people see that simple truth?

The world is full of hate and harshness.

but what you need to find, 

is the pride and the people that feel your pain,

so you don't feel left alone

Your not alone,

and neither am I

[Gee]

Coming out to one's parents must be the hardest thing, and to then get rejected, must be soul destroying. A well delivered plea for acceptance, no matter ones sexuality. Well done

thank you, I have a couple friends who have experienced this, and I was scared that my parents wouldn't accept it.

A rare topic, which people hardly write on..
Amazing work!

thank you, even though I haven't experienced this it was hard to talk about.
