Watching gay conversation therapy online made me realize
I am lucky to be who I am, not forced to change
but no one knew
so I walked downstairs
into the unknown to confront the aching fear inside of me
I walked into my sisters room, confident but scared
I told her as my cheeks burned with the fiery depths of hell (as where the gays are going)
my eyes swelled with the salty oceans
my hands began to shake so rapidly I was scared they were going to fall off
my heart rammed in my chest as if 1000 elephants were trying to get out
she said, "I expected."
thats it
my cheeks cooled, the oceans receded, my hands slowed, my heart only became a patter
then I walked out
a wave of relief isn't what I felt, but concern
Its been 3 days since I came out to her
It is great
