You’ve struggled with this for years
You’ve cried confused and heart wrenching tears
But don’t give up I know you can make it through
No matter what I’ll always stand by you
Take my hand and you’ll find peace
Listen to my voice and you’ll find hope
Tonight we stand together as one
Take a risky chance of fate
Tonight’s the night
It’s now or never
But no matter what happens
I’ll be by you forever
“Mom, dad. I’m gay”
Now there’s two ways that this can go
They’ll either accept you for who you are
Or tell you to fuck off “Just go!”
It’s a matter of parental precedent
Either they agree with society or they don’t
But no matter what they say
I’ll always be by your side for forever and a day
[Don’t give up because I know you can make it through]
Author notes
Hey all. This is a poem I wrote for confidence because I am trying to get myself to tell my family that I am a Bi-Sexual. And I know that it’s not going to have a happy ending (especially with my mother) as some people close to me should know. But I am sick of hiding it and why should I?
Please tell me what you think

Wow. this is good. I am sorta out, my mom found out by snoppping. she tried to convince me that i am not, so it will take a while before she accepts me.
-

I Agree
It's hard to bear the secret of gayness. I know that my mom would never look at me the same way if she knew. But, That's part of the choice, I guess. I've thought about letting her read my Haiku "My Fantasy Death" as a means of coming out, But I don't know if I will. If I do, I'll tell you how it went. -
Amazing
THAT'S IT!
I'm adding you to my favorites.
You are an extremely talented poet, and I love reading your works.
As for telling your family, don't rush yourself. Do it when you are good and ready. Also, make sure you find the right moment, cause you only get one!
{I'm a lesbian and I dealt with coming out about 4 years ago}
If you ever want to talk message me.

Congratulations, this is a strong piece...when the time is right, you will find the words...If I could tell your Mum how to handle it I would say " This doesn't change who Tommy is, although it may be hard for you to accept at first, you will deal with it, you will still love him regardless of his sexual orientation, and if you have an issue with his sexuality, love him around your issue until you can learn to accept it" And my advice to you Tommy....you have been preparing for this for some time, you are ready to 'Come out', but you must appreciate that this may be a shock to your family, so allow them the time to get use to the idea, it's all about loving eachother enough to accept everyone who who they are...Good Luck

Hey, thanks for your kind words. I'm very scared and I dunno if it’ll go well because my family is against it. It hurts but I’ve gotten used to it. Thanks for your support!
