5 years
Sitting on the floor
Sharp breaths; Rocking back and forth
They can Never know
My thoughts are consumed
And I feel oh so doomed
I hope they don’t know
I know myself now
But am still A bit afraid
I don’t want to tell
I might be ready
But I second guess myself
I will tell them soon
I am confident
I just hope I am ready
Mom, Dad, I am Bi
