Stuck.
Between where I am.
And where I want to be.

What would you say to me?

Would you tell me it just a phase?
Would you look down on me?

Or.
Would you act like it was never said?
Would you feel better to pretend?

You’ve told me people have a right to choose.
How their lives will be.
Is it different when it’s family?
Is it different when it’s me?

If it’s fine.
Why am I so afraid to say?
Why do I fear it won’t be ok?

I’m so sick of being in the dark.
Tired of being someone I’m not.
All I want is out.  
A poem I wrote about my feelings on coming out, for me its hard to imagine my parents knowing. Im sure Im not the only one. There are a few people who already know Im gay, I find it really hard to tell those tha don't. If anyone has any advise, I'd love to hear it.
