I am gay

This secret will devour your soul,
Leave you wasted and destroyed whole.

You have tried so many things but you end up here,
listening to the single hurtful jeer.

You want the world to change to something you can relate,
But you can’t understand why his is called ‘The equality state’

You want to come out but you still understand,
Why this is the opposite of ‘The Promise land”

You want people to know who you are,
But the secret will send them fully ajar.

You want them to know so you don’t walk away,
You say the three words you dread to say,
You say the words “I am Gay.”
