“Don’t Look at Me Different” By Jonathan
Moore |
Desciption of Submission: My Dad suddenly asked me one night if I was Gay and I
answered yes. He acted as I would be a different person and it worried me when
it was time to approach other family members.
|
Don’t look at me negative
because I told you Dad You asked – So I told you
yes. Don’t frown, don’t swear,
don’t make fun of, don’t laugh I answered, now treat me
your best. Don’t look at me different
Dad. I wasn’t prepared to tell
you Dad You asked, I answered, and
now you’re sad But this isn’t a change It’s who I am Don’t look at me different
Dad. Don’t cry, it’s going to
be okay Mom I’m fine, I’m ok, and ‘m
yours to stay Nothings changed, I’m fine I’ll always be by your side Don’t look at me different
Mom I didn’t know this was
going to be like this Mom Your tears are making me
blue I’m gay and nothing can
change that way It runs in the family –
yes, it’s true Don’t look at me different
Mom. |
