[hometext] => about when I came out as a lesbian to family and everyone else around me and how even though you have support and know you won't be hated you can't help but feel the fear everyone feels when doing this.
[bodytext] => I reach out to those around me with so much fear and anxiety Will they hate me, not accept me disown me for truly being me Will I be the outcast more than I already am I need to get the creature out of me That has been haunting me for so long kill the creature inside me that has been attempting to kill me kill the creature inside of me so I can truly be free to be me All these things went through my head And so I sucked it up I gathered up the strength I figured if they don’t accept me then that is their choice to make Mom, Mikey, Gram and everyone else I am a lesbian! I said it loud and proud And finally said it right out loud I realized I must be true to myself I must live the way I was meant to live And stop hiding from the truth. No more shadows in my mind no more closets to hide inside I am me and that is all Love me or hate me I am just me and that is all I will ever be I found almost everyone accepted me for the person that I am But every day is a struggle walking through this heartless land There is to much hate Instead of love Too much push and shove And if you tell me I am going to hell because of who I am I would rather be in a hell than in a heartless land But I believe that God or whoever is up there somewhere will not shun people for being people I have done nothing wrong And live each day to help others I never judge and always lend a helping hand So if none of that matters and I am going to hell anyway because I am gay I would rather live each day knowing I put a smile on someone’s face and not perching hate I would rather make someone’s day than shove them away I will embrace the rainbow each and every day Because everyone guess what, I am gay! And I am here to stay!

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
