I'm praying, begging, wishing, hoping
That one day you'll understand
I love you and I love how I am
Even if you think it is an abomination
One day I will marry the girl of my dreams
And I hope your tears
Will be those of joy and not of sorrow
Please mommy
Don't hate me for who I am
You take every chance time gives you
To try and convince me
That I'm not how I am
I can't blame you
It's your ignorance
One day I hope you will overcome it
I don't want to be alone
But I don't want you to be ashamed of me
As you are of Tori
She's happy
I'll be happy
You're the only one who can't seem to be happy
Author notes
It's painfully obvious what this poem is about, it's about me being a lesbian and my mom having trouble accepting it.
Just looking for some opinions.

You're telling me. My mother is all like "I'm okay with it." then goes behind my back telling her friends "Ugh, it's just a phase! She'll get over it. I can't have a gay kid." >_> Newsflash for mother: My brother is gay too. This is a really strong write, Veronica. The background gives me a seizure. >_>
Love always,

It was hard for my mom to accept it at first. Now it's only my grandma and grandma on her side of the family who can't. I imagine it may take some time to change the heart of such staunch conservatives, though I think it could work. (That is, if I can convince her that her age does not make her infallible.)
If it helps, you can show her reports from the APA, the American Psychological Association, which constantly says that LGBT do not choose their lifestyle and should have equal rights in order for mental stability.

Your mom's still stupid.
I love this poem though.
I hope she gets over her ignorance soon because...well, it's stupid.
