Coming Out

At age five
I dreamt of growing up
And marrying a man
Who would make me happy
And we would live happily ever after.

At age ten
I dreamt and stared at boys
But in the back of my mind
I couldn't help but feel
Like something was not right.

At age 14
I began to see something
In me that wasn't the same
As it was when I was younger.

But now at 15 I'm ready
To come out and tell the world
I'm gay,
I am attracted to women
And one day I hope to find
A beautiful girl
That I can call my own,
But for now
I deal with the price
Of having to tell my family.

This is my coming out
And I couldn't be happier
To show the world
Who I really am
And how I feel inside,
Because I know deep down
That, this is right.
