Acceptance

The guilt, the anguish, the torture and pain,
I've struggled with this demon,
always knowing it was in vain.

Once a free spirit, a picture of joy,
but the mask I have worn,
I now have to destroy.

The awful lies and continuous deception,
destined to be ruined by my own
self-destruction.

But the time has come to face the truth
of my soul,
I won't be consumed by the decay of
this black hole.

Before you judge me please hold onto
this thought:
I am still the same person; it was
never your fault.

I have come to accept who I am today,
Please do me the same mother, father,
I am gay.
