You took it from me (a poem about coming out)

You took it from me
My opportunity
I wanted to tell my family
I was going to tell them...

But you had to ruin that
Didn't you?
I just want to know
Why did you do it?

You've made my life horrible
And still...you manage to make things worse
To make it so unbearable to be around you
But you sit there questioning why

The answer is right there
Right there but you refuse to see
I trusted you with this one thing
And your excuse is people were "asking"

That doesn't make it right to out your daughter
Despite what we've gone through
I TRUSTED YOU
With this ONE thing

I can't see myself ever forgiving you
So this is goodbye
I hope you seek help
And come to terms with the toxicity you've caused
