Hiding places

Are you hiding in the closet?

Are you underneath the bed?

Or are you hiding

Somewhere else instead?

Your sexuality is something

From which you should not hide!

Be true to yourself!

Go on, show off your pride!

Yes it’s the hardest thing

That you’ll ever undertake,

My promise to you is

‘It won’t be a mistake!’

For its you that you’re eluding!

Yes it’s very daunting, confusing!

Be that badass that

You are inside

Once you unleash it

No more you’ll hide

Your parents might think

That you’ve lost your mind,

But screw them,

It’s yourself you have to find!

I’m inviting you to

Prove them all wrong

I know you can do it

I know that you are strong

You’ve control of your own destiny,

‘I am gay’ three words and you're free.
