Acceptance

So you hang out with gay people
And now you are gay.
I'm sorry, mom..
It did not happen that way.
I know its hard,
For you to understand..
But please, if you can
Try as hard as you can..
And i know that u said
I could never tell dad..
But would it really
Be all that bad?
I love who i am
And i wish u could too
Not just the parts of me
that u can pick and choose...
I guess its all or nothing,
And that's up to u..
But before u decide..
Know I'll always love you.
I'm still the little girl,
That brought so much joy to your life..
Why should that change
Because I would prefer a wife?
You can do the denial thing
as I know that u will..
but just to remind u..
I will be gay still.
I'm not going to change so
Can u please accept me now?
Please, oh please,
Can u find a way how?
It would mean so much
you don't even know..
If when I'm around u,
my true self could show..
I'm happy i told you..
don't get me wrong.
I just wish acceptance
wouldn't take u so long..
I'll love u til the day i die,
If you cant do the same..
Can you please
Just explain why?
I'm your daughter, your child
Your own flesh and blood.
Don't drag that relationship
Out through the mud.
I'll say it again..
I'll love u forever....
But if you cant accept me...
Forgive you, ill never..
