The Box

“THE BOX” By:KIDD (For all the men who’s too scared to tell) The lies i say I put it all on a box Wherever i stay They won’t act like i lack I am not me outside But feel free when alone It shows up what i hide When i take off a mask that is on I wish i could tell And still be the same My life’s like a carousel Nothing more but a game They won’t know that I’m gay Cos they will leave me i swear That’s why the lies that i say Is the mask that i wear It’s much safer this way For no one will get hurt God must’ve built me on a clay With a special kind of dirt Still i see myself unique In my very own special way I’ll be kind, warm and sweet Won’t be wrong that I’m gay still I’m careful for what i say Cos i still hide like a fox I could just lie to them everyday And just put it all in a box - KIDD

Thanks for this. Indeed, telling the truth matters most. Welcome to PS, kabayan. I pray that you have a delightful personal relationship with the Creator and Saviour Jesus Christ. According to John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." God bless you.

I wrote this poem for a friend who got kicked out of their house cos he admitted he was gay. He’s been living in our house now for two days so i thought i could ask him how it felt like before and after. I didn’t know it was this sad to be not accepted as a gay from your family. I hope things will get better soon for him
