The walls are closing in
The light is disappearing
I am getting cold
They tell me I am sinning
Fear is making me hide
I don't know if I can risk it all
I know I must follow my heart and soul
Life is becoming pointless
I am living a lie
Is it too much to ask
For me to be able
To be a lesbian out loud?

"Is it too much to ask

Sorry.
Personally at the start of this, i wasnt fond of lesbians, i mean i loooove gay guys!!!!, but lesbians we're a bit scarey to me, maybe thts just me being girl, and being stalked by one, 1 tomany times lol. but after reading this i actually feel bad for you, and im apolagisin now for how i thought before i read this. your just a normal person like all of us, and i suppose you cant help who you fall for.
so yeah neat write. XxXxX

Wow. Thank you for your honesty. Lesbians are just normal people... we just happen to be attracted to other females. I'm sorry about your experience. Not all of us are like that you know.

I feel the frustration but there is nothing unique about this poem, try to capture the readers attention. thank you for entering and good luck

SCREAM IT OUT LOUD!!!! SAY IT LOUD AND BE PROUD!!!!!! BE PROUD OF WHO YOU ARE!!! FUCK WHO EVER TELLS YOU DIFFERENT!!! YOU ARE YOU! I AM ME! WE ARE WHO WE ARE! ALL YOU HATERS JUST GET OVER IT ALREADY!

Wow. Well said!

An identity crisis
is often of self making. In your openness you will find the acceptance from those who can give you the tolerance and love that you deserve. Keep being unique and follow the yearnings of your soul.

Thank you. I am starting to do that. But some days are harder than others.

wow this poem has alot of emotion in it, and it is well written good job and keep up this kind of work and u will go far, i support u on ur beliefs so if u ever want to talk message me.

Thank you. I used to cut myself, and when I wrote this, it helped me release some of the emotion that I had. Mind you, I still go through hell everyday because of who I am, but that will never change, so I had better get used to it.

The words of a bleeding heart. It's certainly not too much to ask, nor should it have to be asked. This is wonderfully expressed. Thank you for sharing.
-
-
Thank you for your support. It truly means a lot.
-
-
are you kidding?
not only is it not too much to ask but if humanity can not accept this and much much more then there is blood on all our hands. but wait theres more if we cant love our self then we tend to hate wich closes the mind and disconects the heart from the universe ... so to speak.. is any of this making sense?
any way...
obviously from my reaction
i rate this monumental write
among the best i've seen here on ap
~teddybare~

It's among the best you've seen? WOW I am so honored to hear (rather, read) that. Thank you for your suppoet. At least I can find support through friends, even if my family hates me. People like you help LGBT people get through each day.

nobodys alone in here....
i realy like this and hurt for you, and all others in this situation it realy sucks to not be able to be who you are in front of the world no one should have to hide... keep the faith and just be true to yourself...
-
Your not alone, and perhaps one day the closed minded people of the world will realize that spewing hate at what they don't understand simply makes them sinners. Always follow your heart, no matter the cost otherwise you will find yourself very unhappy. (One little thing in line 8 you should put an "o" into pointless.)
-
i lke this write alot
-
nice write keep it up
-
-
Thank you so much.
-
-
No you're not alone. Very well written lots of feelings felt here.
crafty -
You are not alone in this world becuase ot's a one day at a time strruggle to redemption. Good Job!
-
im sorry you feel so closed in, unable to be yourself, it was like that for me for such a long time, and even tho it was hard coming out with some of the reactions ive gotten, ive never felt freer and truer to myself in my entire life! if you need any support dont hesitate to contact me!

this is awesome, you've got talent. keep writing

Gift for structuring poems
You have a way of structuring in all the relevent details yet ending the poem so strongly. I write rhymeing poems but I wish I had that ability to ambush the reader at the end of the poem as you seem to have. Too many teenages have had to face what you say, in America gay / bi / transgender community make up the bulk of all people living alone on the streets homeless. Love your work, Elisha De La Haye -

Thank you very much.There many writers out there who are better, and I look at their work and just learn from it so I can better myself.

You are never alone!
hmmm...ask the Lord in prayer...He made you who you are, so perhaps He can help you to see clearly His beautiful will for you life, more than what you could ever imagine...His love for you is far beyond what any human could ever give you! It's why Jesus died, have you heard? Heck, we all have, but have any of us listened...
-Pap.

Yes, I am a born again Christian. I have blamed Him for so much in my life, and I am just now able to start praying without being angry at Him.
