Every time she looks at me her heart breaks more inside <br />Every time I see that pain I want to run and hide <br />She can't accept who I am, she says it isn't right <br />Every time i try to talk she always wants to fight <br />I don't understand how a mother could treat her daughter this way <br />She doesn't just do it one in a while, she does it everyday <br />I thought that she loved me because of who I am <br />I guess her perspective changed cuz she doesn't give a dam <br />I thought that she would be with me through the thick and thin <br />But I am not the daughter she raised, to her I am just a sin <br />I can't change who I am and neither can she <br />I have to be who I am not for her but for me <br />I know that in my heart this is who I'm meant to be <br />And if she was the mother I thought she was, she would agree with me <br />I'm proud of who I am and that's all I have to say <br />And in case you were wondering yes I am gay.<br /><br />Edith SaintFelix<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/acceptence-old-poem/
