Afraid

Behind the shadows of my father

I hide

Behind the media's comments 

I hide

Behind my mother's thoughts

I hide

Behind societies bashing

I hide

Behind the negativity 

I hide

Behind myself 

I hide

But what am I hiding from?

Behind happiness 

Behind acceptance

Behind myself

I am Gay

I am no longer hiding.
