I'm trying not to be vulnerable,
They won't love me anymore...
I need to be strong-
Their "unconditional" love stopped- When I fell for a boy.
What a lie-

I don't like girl pink,
I never did-
I like boy on boy.
I like boy blue

Wish I could believe that my parents would still be supportive if I told them I'm bi... Dad wouldn't look at me again. Mom would put me in a Private Christian school. T_T I admire your bravery. The poem itself is full of personality with the broken sentences and dashes. An enjoyable change from all the usual 4 line stanzas with perfect grammar.

Isn&#039;t it ironic? We ignore the ones who adore us, adore the ones who ignore us, love the ones who hurt us, and hurt the ones that love us.

It's very hard to come out about this, and one of my friends just came out yesterday. It can be a little scary but if your friends and family love you, they will stand by you...
