Do you see the stars?

Can you see how bright it shines; how their looking down at us?

 

I wonder if they’re watching. Judging us, are aspects, dreams, fears- the way we treat people.

Do you judge me?

For simply being myself?

 

Now, I never wanted to keep this secret from you.

But I felt as if I had to shield myself for my own sanity.


If you only knew the fear that has crept upon me, but you can’t. Because it lives within me.

 

And I know if you had the opportunity, you would change me.

 

Because…

 

I never thought loving another human, other than the one you pictured for me.

Would ever make me unlovable in your eyes, ( am I really that disposal?)

But here I am, living a lie.

 

But I can’t help the way I feel.

Her eyes do shine as bright as the stars, but I know this star will never judge me

The happiness she has given me, is something you can never take away.

 

So here I stand alone asking you one last question

Will you ever except me?

This poem means a lot to me. Because it tells the story about my parents not accepting my sexuality.
