Coming Out

By Kristal Smith

My dearest Mom and dad
My goal is not to make you feel sad
I have something important to say
Something’s bothered me every day

Remember the time that I tried suicide
Of that I have no pride
This pain I have inside is very real
Agony as well do I feel

I feel it is best
To get it off my chest
Know this to be true before I do
Forever will I love you

I am not what you see
The other gender I need to be
My whole life I have lived a lie
If I have to carry on like this I’d rather die

I am sorry if you think I’m a tart
But to live my life I have to start
I am sorry if you think I’m a pain
A type of freedom I need to gain

Again I say these words true
Those words are I love you.
