I Can’t Imagine

I can’t imagine what it’s like to be gay. Being hated for loving and told you should be ashamed. I can’t imagine what it’s like to be gay. Being degraded and pushed away as if being gay is contagious. This world is outrageous. I can’t imagine what it’s like to be gay. Loving someone so deeply, but feeling like you could never say. Hidden in the closet you stay. I can’t imagine what it’s like to be gay. Seeing straight couples marry and have children everyday, yet being looked down upon for wanting the same. I can’t imagine what it’s like to be gay. Feeling uncomfortable in your own skin because narrow-minded fools say being gay is a sin. I can’t imagine what it’s like to be gay, because I was born straight and it’s always been okay. I can’t imagine what it’s like to be gay. Being born gay, and being told I chose to be that way.
