Today I came out to my grandmother
Told her I'm bisexual
"I've been with a few girls and guys... I'm not proud of some of my actions but this is who I am," I said.
She didn't believe me
Calling it a lie
Told me I'm rebellious
Always questioning society
Maybe this is what I'm doing
Rebelling against everyone
Especially against my dad
Since he said, "Gay people are disgusting and should burn in hell. It's the parents fault for not raising their children right."
I knew I had to prove him wrong
My grandmother said I always loved challenges
Even as a child I loved proving people wrong
I'm a teenager that's why I think It's all a game
I've always questioned everything
It has always been my aim
She said rebelling was fine but I shouldn't play this dangerous game
Questioning religion shouldn't become my aim
She said I can love whoever I want to
But what would God say?
Going against my father is one thing but going against my God's rules is a sin
"I will always love you but if you bring a girl over, she will have no place in this family, religion or home. My child, fear death and the after - life. I cannot bear to even think of you not going to heaven but this is your decision, I know you'll make things right.'
My dear, sweet grandmother
She's always right about everything
But you see, I've always been a rebel
That will always be my sin
