Coming Out To Myself!

I WALKED ALONE...
I walked the streets alone and cold.
Wanted someone to hug me, Someone I could hold.
I walked the road alone and afraid.
Of what I had done. 'What had I just said?'.
I walked a path alone and confused.
My thoughts all spend, My feelings used.
I walked down a hall alone but true.
That's when I met friendship, That's when I met you.

I am trying hard not to kiss you.
I am trying even harder to not be with you.

I keep on covering my heart with lies.
Smothering it, I don t know why?

I need to tell you that I am attracted to the same sex.
Will you think of me any less?

I need to free myself and find peace.
I need to try and understand all of this.

I just want to be accepted like anyone else.
To be respected and not shadowed in doubt.

I need to come out
Even if it is to myself.
