    Found this i wrote a few years ago a few days before I come out to my friends, thought id share it:
    A plea to a friend.

    I close my hands my face is wet
    are these tears going to be of regret?

    Who I am? What is it I am?
    I no longer care I just want out.

    Out of this life of lies I’m living in
    out of this pain and sin.

    I take my first step why am I afraid and ashamed
    for this the choice I have never ever made.

    No matter how dashing and flashing they are
    no man will ever have this part of my heart.

    I’ve started it, but am I ready?
    it’s too late to go back in.

    Some will hate, some will push me to change my ways,
    but a few will never change and treat me the same.

    I have now opened the door to the world,
    Please don’t feed me to the wild

    This is not my fault and cannot change,
    do you think I want to be a target of a verbal firing range

    I’ve tried to change hide away,
    hate myself for feeling this way.

    For the past few years I have been fighting on my own,
    please the last thing I need now is to feel alone.

    I’m the same girl I was before,
    I’m just basically not lying to you anymore

    If our lives were swapped,
    I know in my heart id stand by you.

    Having said this, it’s with a plea I will end,
    Please find it in your heart to keep being my friend.

    I haven't changed i'm the same I was yesterday
    So please don’t change because you know i'm gay.

    Nicely put AJ2014.

    I especially like:

    "I have now opened the door to the world,
    Please don’t feed me to the wild"


    I think most (if not all of us) can identify to this. Thank you for sharing!
