Being Gay

The night turns into day
Here I am once again, gay
Confused
Disassociated and abused.
Though, I was born this way
It was a life to choose
Mentally I faltered talking on an image
Lacking self-respect for who I was
Of who I chose to be
Consider it an open invitation for humiliation and discrimination
Or consider it a conversation between the right and wrong in you
The weak and strong in you
Still the night turns into day
As the month’s fade to years
But who am I to shed a tear
Who am I to not be okay
With being gay

This reminds me of the line of a song - 'be yourself you can't be anybody else' be happy for who you are - its a pity people judge someone for their sexuality and not for who they are:-( hugs Jan xx
