Gay Today

I come out gay today. What has taken me so long? It is my fear of what some would say, Now I feel free as a birdsong. Many years living astray, My true self was all wrong. My happiness has had to pay, Time to stand up strong. Gay today and forever me, Achieving blissful happiness. Totally carefree, The world is my witness. Many missed true love opportunities, Loneliness and sadness kept me a while. Caring what others thought was lunacy, How close it was to being senile. Those years wasted brutally, To my younger self I now reconcile. Loving me with impunity, Continuing onward I can only smile. Gay today and forever me, Achieving blissful happiness. Totally carefree, The world is my witness. Living now a new, Numerous possibilities await. True love I’m searching for you, Out there somewhere is my soulmate. Respecting me so others do too, Finding one’s self is never too late. To all the world I love you, Please help stop gay hate. Gay today and forever me, Achieving blissful happiness. Totally carefree, The world is my witness.
