Poem
I stay up all night thinking About the entire day How to make things different To stop being afraid I wish I could reach out and call I know they really love me They want to know about my life But I don’t think they’ll see My life is different from before This I do agree But who I am and was before I’m closer now to free There are things that I must change To have peace and to be All I’ve ever dreamed of Living and feeling free I’ve found my mate, my lover My family, my best friend He’s older and he’s different On him, I do depend Our love is real and true and kind He needs me, I need him My family doesn’t accept me now They’ve judged him on a wim How do I live my life Without my mom and dad I know they want the best for me But what they do is bad They always expect the worst of me And show me no trust too Despite the path I’ve laid till now It doesn’t matter what I do I’m proud of who I have become A person honest and true Why can’t they just be happy now Sit back and watch how I grew They created who I am in part Their job is now to see That I will choose my life and dreams And who I want to be I’m thankful and appreciate All that they have done And want them to believe in me And trust my life’s begun. I’m estranged now from my brother His wife and his family My best friend Kim is worried Of the life that I lead They think that I have chosen bad And not fulfilled my dreams Assuming this about my life Without consulting me I wrote these words to express How I feel to them I hope that they will listen And that acceptance will begin I want them to stop assuming Always the negative and the worst And believe I can be happy Help me lift my bad luck curse I know it may be hard To accept Charlie But they will have to try this now As he is part of me If only they would give themselves The chance to know him well A person with a soul they’d love If they could only tell I hope my parents find a way To understand my life If they can’t accept me now Stab me with a knife This is how important you are My beloved family So can we please start over now, fresh and anew This will make me happy And Charlie wants this too I need you with me by my side In my life I do. I love you and I miss you much I hope you feel this too.
