I am gay.
I'm not a disease, I'm not a problem
I'm not an affliction
I don't need treatment.
I don't need help
I'm not sick
I'm not confused
I'm not a sin.
I am gay.
I'm your daughter
Your sister
Your friend
Your co worker
Your classmate
Your acquaintance
A complete stranger
I am gay.
I need love, just like you
I need smiles
I need support
I need a hug
I need a friend
I need a family
I need acceptance
I need understanding
I need you
I am gay.
I know what love is
I know what pain is
I know what hate is
I know what life is
I am gay.
And I need you to love me
The same way you loved me before you knew
I am gay.
There was once beauty in your blue eyes,
Now there's only fear.
Your blue eyes used to make me smile,
Now there's only tears.
There's warmth in your hand,
And though our fingers intertwine
Our hearts are uncoupled; I distrust you with mine.
I miss your green eyes,
I miss your harmonious smile,
I miss your seraphic voice,
And I miss you, Kyle.
