Collaboration 1 - Lezline & The Word Korner

"What I understood from it is, people's opinion on a person's sexual orientation should not matter as long as they are satisfied with who they are, live for yourself be free because your happiness is up to you and by hiding that person it will do more harm than good, so embrace your identity" - Lezline Blogger

That is what Lezline's blogger (Judine Ryan) thought about my poem, in order for me to do this poem I had to interview Judine on some of the drawbacks about coming out and also read her blog. Some of my favourite post from her blog Lezline are:

• Is it real or a fantasy?
• Empty closet vs. Full closet
• Date... at your own risk

However I wanted to write my poem about being gay and the drawbacks about coming out...
This is what I came up with

I’m coming out; I want the world to know got to let it show ♩
♪ ♫♬

No,it’s not that easy, am I really ready to admit my sexuality and get omitted by
my friends and family.

You see coming out is not a fantasy, My story is different from Ellen and Portia De
La Rossi, coming out for me is not going to be easy.
I could hear my mother now, child you need a good praying, No family of mine is
gay, the devil have you mind straying..
Or the disapproving looks I will get from my other family members and how the
community will finally get validation for the rumours.
’m I really ready to deal with the giggles pointing and whispers?
Hummm, so long I’ve held this secret, but it gets easier to keep it, at times I Just
forget about it and a few times I believe I lost it way in the back of my
closet.
But when I remembered it

I asked myself, is being a lesbian really the worst thing that can happen in this
world? Is it so bad if love decides to choose the hearts of two girls?

Is it so bad to be joined in holy matrimony and raise a family even though our
love is taboo in society?
Why would you judge me, isn’t our main goal in life to be truly happy?
I would love to proudly preach my lesbianity


Bask in all HER glory

Sing, I’m coming out I want the world to know

But I can’t let it show…
