Array ( [sid] => 50777 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => To My Parents [time] => 2004-06-07 00:22:29 [hometext] => [bodytext] => I know im not what you want me to be
Im something you never wanted to see
I shatted all your hopes and dreams
Im just a huge dissipointment to you it seems

You never wanted me to be gay
It something you could never say
Everyday you pray im not " That way"

The feelings i possess
The way that I dress
The words in poetry i confess

I see the way you act when its said
You sigh and shake your head,....
In disgust

Thats why I dont like to be around you
Because of the shame you put me through
Thats why Im always alone in my room
Listen to music speaking of suicide and gloom
And writing poetry of pain that consume,

Of how my shame is becasue of you,
The things you say and do
I know i can never talk to you two
You'll never accept me for the dyke I'll be
I'll always be me.

I hope you're parents overcome their current views on homosexuality..... they have a lot of prejudices to get over - i trust with time they get there and can love you for all you are. i'm sure they don't realise what they are missing out on....a daughter's pretty damn special!

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. ©
