It's Not Your Fault

Mother don't blame yourself for my undoing It's not your fault, nor mine--things just happen You may think you somehow screwed me up But believe me, no one can screw me up more than happenstance Decades have passed Another year older & still you feel remorse for my being gay Nothing can make someone become gay, it's born innate I know it sounds crazy, but I don't think I'd change a thing If I could go back & relive my life Everything I've experienced has lead me up to this point So breathe a sigh of relief and don't flatter yourself A mother, a father can have only so much influence.
