Dear Mom
Remember that you love me
And please don't try to change me
But I have something to say
That may shift
How you see

Just know that I'm still the same person
I love you no matter what
I hope
I hope
I hope that
You'll know I'm still the same

Mom
Please don't be mad
Please don't start screaming
Just listen
It's me
I'm still your daughter
I'm still just me

I know you grew up differently
I know
But times have changed
Things are different
And this is the way I am

It's nothing that you did
You raised me the best you could
It's fine
Don't worry
It's just
In my blood
In my brain
In my heart

Yes I'll give you time
I know this is a shock
Just look into my eyes
Mom
I'm gay
That's all
Just listen
Please
Oh God...
