Proud of who I am

Location

At times I found myself being who I was not

Pretending to love things I did not

Hiding deep within my own fears

Fears such as not being accepted for who I AM

For loving a person of the same sex

Since when was homosexuality a problem?

Judging others based on what they prefer

But judging won't break me

I'm only stronger now

Prouder than I have ever been

I am out and never looking back into the closet

People thought it was a facade

Five years later I'm still the same

Free spirited, homosexual, speaking for what I love

And For those who do not love this me

Your loss.
