OH PLEASE MOTHER
WON'T YOU UNDERSTAND
OH MOTHER, I NEED YOUR HAND
I CAME OUT OF HIDING
FATHER ALWAYS KNEW I WAS DIFFERENT
BUT WHY HAVEN'T YOU? , bROTHER HELPED ME
HE KNEW HOW I FELT, MOTHER WHY CAN'T YOU BE MORE LIKE THAT?
ALL I GET OUT OF YOU
IS ' YOU'RE GOING TO HELL'
THATS WHAT SHE SAID
'YOU'RE NO CHILD OF MINE'
THATS ALL THAT CAME OUT OF YOU
MY FRIENDS LOVE ME, THEY ALREADY KNOW
OH MY FRIENDS I LOVE YOU
I TRAVELED A LONG WAY, UP PATHS AND UP STAIRS
JUST TO BE HERE TO DAY
MOTHER WHY CAN'T YOU BE MORE LIKE THE OTHERS?
GOD MADE ME, IM A GOD SEND
MOTHER IF YOU COULD ONLY SEE IM NOT A THREAT
OH PLEASE MOTHER
I NEED YOUR HAND
I HAVE FINALLY BEEN HONEST WITH MYSELF
COMING OUT OF THE CLOSET
THAT DOOR IS BARRICADED SHUT
BUT WHY CAN'T YOU ACCEPT YOUR YOUNGEST SON?
WON'T YOU UNDERSTAND?
i JUST WANT TO BE LOVED
I NEED YOUR HAND, MOTHER
P.S. This poem is very touching but is Not Autobiographical. Thankyou
