A Very Emotional Song I Wrote - Empty Closets - A safe online community for gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgendered people coming out

ErikPinkLovesU · 29th Mar 2008, 09:42 AM

A couple months ago I was in a very emotinal place and I had thoughts of killing myself. I was really depressed so I wrote this song and reading it sometimes really helps me pull throught some of the hard times that I may go through. Its a song about someone comeing out to their parents and asking them to accept them, I hope you like it.

“Promise Me” by Elgin M.

I just want to ask you if you’ll turn me away
If I tell you one thing about me
Cus every time I get the strength
I’m just so afraid of what you would do
If you only knew
I just want to let it go
Be closer to and just grow
See that I am still me
Don’t reject me promise me

That even if I am different
Even if you don’t understand
That you will stand by me
No matter the consequence
Please don’t desert me
Show me that you love
Do one thing for me
Accept me for me

This might be the last thing I ever ask you
Possibly the last I ever talk to you
Just try understanding that I didn’t choose this path
Even if I can’t explain to me to
Just tell me that you’ll always hold me
When I’m so deeply hurting
Will you promise to still let me in your life?
Even if I disappoint you
Just promise me

That even if I am different
Even if you don’t understand
That you will stand by me
No matter the consequence
Please don’t desert me
Show me that you love
Do one thing for me
Accept me for me

I hope you understand
What this means to me
Put yourself in my shoes
Throw your scriptures away
Just once and listen to me
I don’t want to lose you
You’ve always been there for me
Just try to let me in your heart once again
Promise me

That even if I am different
Even if you don’t understand
That you will stand by me
No matter the consequence
Please don’t desert me
Show me that you love
Do one thing for me
Accept me for me
