The Gay Girl

Mom believe mee,

She cried.

No one understood,

As if she lied.

It's just a phase

She was told.

Stuck in a love maze

She stood bold.

It began when she was 13

She is pretty, she thought

It's long been

That she had fought

She was 15 when she gathered courage

And somehow told that girl,

She got rejected then and there

As if it was her fault.

She was 17 when she was

Bullied by all

For being who she really was

And she took that fall.

But she was brave

She never went back

To that closet

She instead took that pack.

She is finally 19

She told her parents

They didn't believe her

They were rude as if it was an offense.

I cried on the floor that day

But I stood high and said

I am who I am

I am how I am made.

I take pride in me

I am a shining pearl,

I am proud of my being

Yes, I am The Gay Girl.
