Blank-Personality

The friends I had, the memories we shared, the lessons we learned, the persons who cared. Words gone unsaid, the lives drifting apart, my school life ending, my true life given start. Regret growing inside, of the words left unspoken, the lives I wished to touch, my heart torn and broken. Those friends so far away, distant and grown mature, my memories beginning to fade, the life of my childhood a blur. A familiar smile, comes in to view, my eyes begin to open, thank God, it's you.

I am gay. I'm not a disease, I'm not a problem I'm not an affliction I don't need treatment. I don't need help I'm not sick I'm not confused I'm not a sin. I am gay. I'm your daughter Your sister Your friend Your co worker Your classmate Your acquaintance A complete stranger I am gay. I need love, just like you I need smiles I need support I need a hug I need a friend I need a family I need acceptance I need understanding I need you I am gay. I know what love is I know what pain is I know what hate is I know what life is I am gay. And I need you to love me The same way you loved me before you knew I am gay.
