coming out at seventeen
a teen's fear of parent's mien
denial, tears, pleading frown
ordered world now upside down

questions, self accusation
cure quest determination
knowledge seeks the master key
pained hearts start to beat easy

ignorant piss-ants galore
condemnation, advice - more
child rearing skills most suspect
from models of saintly respect

wisdom gained and understood
does the homophobe no good
facts ignored, epitaphs wild
substandard pervert - my child???

time to face down their anger
stupid taunts - childish rancor
stand up straight - eye to eye
put them down hard, kill the lie!!!

    ah coming out, no matter what point of view, i think we have all thought those thoughts along the way of life and damn to all who will deny that we are what we are and we like to experiment in life and love, in my humble one most of us have at least thought of it on a sensual sexual fantasy
