Secret Revealed

she won't accept me as her friend

or the person that i'm meant to be

she will leave in the end

and i'll know it was all because of me


"i'm gay!" that's all i could say

with my voice cracking with every beat

i could tell by her face this was not the day

and my first instinct was to retreat


her face grew hot and her eyes showed red

and her words filled me with tears

telling me to go to hell and wishing me dead

she had now confirmed all my greatest fears


i cradled my head in my hands and cried

as she flew out the back door

she shattered my heart, i should have lied

and i collapsed right there on the floor

I read all the poems you posted. Fantastic description of darkness. Your imagination can be your best and worst friend. You are not alone in the universe.

Anyone not accepting of you or your lifestyle is not worth your friendship or tears. Embrace your inner awesomenes and walk proud. Get off the floor, keep writing.
