I'm sorry I'm not who you thought I was
and that I can't be who you want me to be
but I'm the same person that I've always been
if you'd just open up your eyes and see
I'm sorry that what I do makes you sick
and I'm sorry that I don't like guys
but I just can't hide the truth anymore
I can't hide behind a fake disguise
I'm sorry I fell in love with my best friend
and I'm sorry that you disagree
but this is something that I can't change
you have to accept that this is me
I'm sorry that you're so angry
and that you think you did something wrong
but this is hard for the both of us
and both of us need to be strong
I'm sorry you don't like the way that I live
and that you choose to be so cruel
but you're going to miss out on the rest of my life
so you're the one being the fool
I'm sorry that this is hurting you
and that it's tearing us apart
but it's only going to get harder
this is just the very start
I'm sorry that you feel the way you do
and that you're choosing to push me away
but if that's what you want then I understand
because in your mind none of this is ok
I'm sorry I'm not who you thought I was
and that I can't be who you want me to be
but I'm the same person that I've always been
if you'd just open up your eyes and see

Wonderful.
I know that you're going through some really hard times right now, and that this is only a glimpse of what you are feeling. Keep up all the wonderful writes and know that there are people out there who care for you. And like everyone else who has posted comments I agree that you should not be making apologies that the person who made you feel like you've done something worng should be. You're just being yourself.

Hey. Thanks for the comment. I really appreciate it. Just gotta keep holding my head up high, even though I may feel like drowning myself sometimes. lol. I'll be alright.

Hey, don't apologize for falling in love. I have to agree with DeepDarkDesire. I went through a lot when I came out to my family, but things will get better, rest assured. I'm not saying it'll get easier, just better.
-
honey. things will get better for us. i promise.

Ummmm I'm speechless. I mean this is very deep and sad I feel for you anyone who goes through this, but this is a beautiful way of expressing how you feel.I wouldn't change a thing about this piece. I know it is going to touch so many peoples hearts for I know that so many can relate. Again beautiful poem.

Sorry?
Surely the small minded individuals who aren't willing to accept nature are the ones who should be apologising? I had a difficult experience coming out to my mother (a religious fanatic) who still to this day makes rather snide comments. The fact is, all parents who aren't ready or don't want to accept homosexuality will do so in the end, no matter how bitter they become. I love how this flows, crude lexus but the emotion in this flows over like so many kettles!
This is a very heartfelt struggle and I wouldn't change a thing. There are many powerful lines in this which force me to look upon the homophobes of the world and feel not disgust (as usual) but pity...not one of them could create something half as beautiful x

I can relate completely. When I came out to my mom, she felt the same way. She still doesn't like it, but she's used to it. Give it time, and I'm sure your family will eventually begin to understand.

I hope they grow to understand
I relate to this completely, I came out to my Mum and Dad when I was 18. I found the most frustrating thing to be getting across to them that I was still me, that being anything other, that being straight, would be a lie. Your parents should be proud of you for being honest and true to who you are, until they can be, be proud of yourself and stay strong.
A great poem and an important one!

Honey... yes, be sorry for them, but be proud of who you are. And give them some time. It will get better. Good poem.
*hugs*

Excellent!
They should etch this on the side of a building somewhere! Well done. rhyming and all. Probably just because I agree with the content so much, but still, it has nice form and rhyme, as well as the powerful message contained. A pleasure to read poetry like this, with good form and a message.
-
you shouldnt be sorry @ all! its who u and if htey have a problem they really dont care about you...its a very good poem tho and i can feel you sadness. And its very cute tht u fell in love with ur best friend
-
I love how you express your pain so beautifully. When I'm upset my thoughts are all over the page, but you keep yours together & even manage to rhyme. Loved it. And just remember it's better to be hated for who you are than loved for who you're not.
-
I feel your pain. It really breaks a person when something that makes you happy is not aprovd by your family and friends. I'm lucky that my parent has accepted my choice, but I have many friends that are not so lucky.
-
Amazing!!
"I'm sorry I'm not who you thought I was
and that I can't be who you want me to be
but I'm the same person that I've always been
if you'd just open up your eyes and see "
loved this part alot!
-
Absolutly fantastic. This has excellent flow, rhyme & content.
Sad and brutal truth that many can relate to.
If its true....bleeding your sorrows here will certainly tell you you are not alone.
-
Amazing! Great emotion! Loved the repitition of the first stanza at the end, it made that poem close well. Great write, I hope all is better!
-
