Please, Understand

Why are so close-minded?

Yeah I'm gay,

So what?

I’m still who I was before I came out.

i know it came as a surprise, but you acted like i wasn’t your daughter anymore.

but No, you didn't lose me

I'm still alive i’m still me, I didn't die

So why are you acting like i did?

you broke down crying, said i was confused.

No, i’m not confused, i know who i am.

you brought up the church, you said i was throwing everything i learned away, but

Forcing religion on me isn't going to change anything,

It’s not my choice, it’s who i am

Please, understand.

you said that you’re ashamed and embarrassed of me and that i should be too.

i won’t lie, i used to be. but that couldn’t be me now.

I’m not gonna be scared of being me,

And i’m not going to hide it.

Please, understand i'm finally happy

I'm not ashamed of shit, so don't disrespect me

Just please understand.
