I am a lesbian

I am a girl attracted to girls most based off their personality.

I am a girl who loves woman more than men.

I am a girl who rarely feels the acceptance.

All I ask is for you to think,

Think about what you’re doing to me, the world.

I am a lesbian

I am a lesbian

Whose words are not spoken

In fear I hide inside a closet afraid to speak of who I am

Because I do not know how they’ll feel once they know.

There are the good and there are the bad,

The fact that I can not share makes me scream inside.

I am a lesbian

I am a lesbian

Whose mother won’t accept her for who she is, and whose father doesn’t even know.

I am a lesbian whose entire family will shatter at the thought of me possibly being gay.

I am a girl

In love with a girl

I am a lesbian

I am a lesbian

I wanna die

Rather than sit and cry for the bottled up pain to go away

Years of feelings caged and locked I’m going insane!

I can already hear the taunting I’m so afraid

So I stay caged

I am a lesbian

I am a lesbian

Who not only wants to be accepted but wants to love who she loves.

I am a lesbian

who has been closeted for too long, scared of what people thought of her.

I am a lesbian

who just wants to be herself for once.

I am a lesbian

I am a lesbian

The words I’ve repeated are me coming out

Me spilling my emotions to you and you sit there silent.

I am a lesbian

Hurting at the thought of what you think

Do you still love me?

Have I lost you?

Hello? Say something all I want is your response!

Please. I’m begging do I need to leave?

Rejection, pain, acceptance denied.

I am a lesbian

Whose actions just ruined her relationship with her family.

Whose words have no more meaning

‘It’s just a phase’

You say, never actually thinking that I could actually love a girl of the same sex

I constantly repeat the words I AM A LESBIAN!

And you still throw your hurtful words

Shoving the rainbow down your throat

I’ve sinned!

God help me for I have sinned, for being who I am!

I’m the devil of this earth

I am sorry, here let me say my prayer

God, I’m sorry I’m just a girl wanting to be in love.

Wanting to be in love with the woman which whom I want to be with.

I am a lesbian

God, please I shouldn’t have to feel ashamed for who I am!

I am a lesbian

I risked it all telling people my true self

I risked discontentment! I risked it all to come out of my cage

Opened a lock door, and you give me rage.

I cry in pain as I sit in my room,

What I had done laid down my tomb.

I was a lesbian who tried to come out

I was a lesbian who wanted to love another woman

I was a lesbian who thought I would be loved

I was a lesbian

I was a person

Who believed you’d still care for me.

I was alive before you killed me

I was a lesbian
