Brother and Son

May 31, 2011
By Anonymous

You call me your brother, you call me your son

My act appeases you, yet destroys who I am

You may know what you say, but you do not know who I am

As much as it hurts, I have no other choice

If you knew what lay with my act, your thoughts would change completely.



You'd call me your traitor... You'd call me your abomination...





Yet you call me your brother... You call me your son...

This was inspired by my fear of coming out to my father whom I feared would reject me.
