You tell me
To get out
Of the house
But don't you know
I'd be homeless
If I did
I can't help
That I like
Boys and girls
That's just who I am
I love you but
You make me furious
And hurt my feelings
Dear Dad,
I am trying to see
It from your perspective
You say God doesn't
Like the gays
But I was just a teen
When I came out
To you
Lost and confused
Didn't know
What to do
Don't you know
It hurts me more
Than anything
That you don't accept me
The way I am
Yes, I still love
The Lord
And I've realized
He loves me too
But why can't
You see that
God made all of
Us equally
But hate is what
You preach
Dear Dad,
I am trying to see
It from your perspective
You say God doesn't
Like the gays
But I was just a teen
When I came out
To you
Lost and confused
Didn't know
What to do
I'm lonely
All the time
You don't like
My hair
You comment
On my weight
Truthfully I don't
Know if I can really
Trust you and
Tell you things
The way I want too
Don't you know
I will always love you
But to be honest
I don't know sometimes
If you love me
Because you reject
Every fiber of my being
Dear Dad,
I am trying to see
It from your perspective
You say God Doesn't
Like the gays
But I was just a teen
When I came out
To you
Lost and confused
Didn't know
What to do
So father, please tell me
What I have to do
For you to be on my side
Because quite frankly
I don't feel like you are
At all
And I just want to be close
With you
Spend time with you
But it's obvious you
Don't think the same
Dear Dad
