Coming Out- My True Story I love my #life the way it is Apart from all the hate. I know one thing and this is it, I'm gay not bi or straight. I came out to the world by one mistake, A mistake I will never regret. I kissed my best friend on the lips, He freaked but said don't fret. Now that he knew I made up my mind, Why hide who I really am? Uncover my true identity, To my friends, my class, my mam. This all happend a few weeks ago, Why waste my childhood I said, I tried to come up with a plan, At nights while in my bed. Soon I thought, just play it by ear, Don't worry about what to say, I tried to hide all my fear, And finally picked a day. At first I told my closest friends, Some thought it wasn't true. I convinced them this was so real, And know now my friends will stick like glue. I have been bullied by certain people, They just don't understand. I am proud to be gay, One of many in this land. My greatest challenge was soon to come, To tell my parents about me. I thought to myself what could happen, I guess I will have to see. The first was my grandad and then my grams, They both took it really good. My grandad told me I wasn't the first, To be gay with this family blood. The time soon came, it was now or never, To bring it upon my dad. He started to laugh and thought it a joke, And then took my gayness bad. After a while, he spoke to me, Trying to choose his words. He said he didn't hate me, not one bit, I guess now he isn't like any of the other turds. My brother and sister both heard at school, Both happy now that they knew. The only person I had left to tell Was my mother- my fear grew. I walked into the room where she was sitting, She saw the worry upon my face. I spat out the words in a rush, I expected her to cry but I saw no trace. "If thats what you want," she said, "then it's fine with me." She opened wide her arms and gave a smile, I ran, gave her a hug, my face covered with glee. So that is the story of when I came out, Most have accepted but some still hate. I'm so glad and feel free, I'm gay, not bi or straight!
