Mother,
Why did you hate me?
Whether you believe it or not,
I really can't choose
Who I love, who I'm attracted to.
Yet you wanted to disown me
You wouldn't talk to me
You said you hated what I was
With all of your heart
It wasn't out of love
It was out of your own fucking narrow-mindedness
Everyone supports me but you
You forced me to take it back
I couldn't take it anymore
Those nasty remarks
One day
I'll find the girl of my dreams
And no longer will I have to hind it
You'll have to face it,
Your daughter is gay
If you don't
You'll never see me again
What do you expect me to do?
Suppress my true love for you?
For what society thinks is right?
Well fuck that
Fuck you
This is what I want
This is me
Whether you like it or not

Oh, Veronica. I really like this piece. It's strong and heartfelt. I hate how some people are totally against their children being gay, but it happens. I'm here for you, and you know that. Take care and remember, I love you
Love always,

Yeah, it was just a venting piece, so I didn't work too hard on it's structure.
I wouldn't ever let her read this, or thake her advice anyway. Lol. -
This was powerful. You delivered your message with a concise conscience. I felt it lacked in terms of poetic structure.
I caution you from taking Lady Voldemort's advice. Good for you that you won't stand for your mother's crap, though.

stellar
You should show your mother this poem. Stand in front of her and make her read it. If she tries to justify herself and her pathetic excuse for what she's put you through, just walk away and refuse to hear a word of her bullshit.
It's good that you know you're just as 'normal' as anyone else with any other sexuality; your mother obviously is insecure with herself and that's why she doesn't like the fact that you're a lesbian. I commend your courage in telling her, though, even though she was a fucking bitch and threw it back in your face. People like that don't deserve to be alive.
Anyways, this was a kickass poem. I don't know what else to say about it because, well, that's what it was. [laughs] Keep writing and - this goes without saying - stay true to yourself.
MORSMORDRE!

I really dont like how people judge gays/lesbians/trans. I found that I was attracted to girls as well as guys and I found nothing wrong with it, but my father is a different story. What they dont understand is how they are just like 'regular' people. In public u see alot of hate and anger, but if u go to a gay club or hang out its so passive and the energy is awesome. If this is true Im sorry your mother feels that way but no matter what there are people who support you, even people who dont know you support you. So keep doing what ur doing but try and let her understand. The best thing u can give her is respect even if she dosent respect you.
