Have you been seeing signs
Noticed things I’ve been trying to hide
Will this be unexpected
Or have you already suspected
Will you be upset
And then give me a threat
Or will you understand
And reasure me this is God’s plan
Please don’t be scared
Understand that my heart still cares
Know that I’m not strange
And that this isn’t just a phase
I’m trying to tell you my secret
You have no idea how hard its been to keep it
I don’t want to be rejected
Nor do I want to be neglected
Will you say you have unconditional love
Tell me every things ok and give me a hug
Or will you just scream
And disapprove of me
Will you think that this was choice
Or will you open your ears and hear my heart’s voice
Will you be a helping hand
And realize this is who I am
Now that you know
Will your love change
Will it grow
Or go down the drain.
The reason why I wrote this poem is because these were my feelings when I wanted to come out and tell people that I was gay.
