Closeted - Christine Fernandez

"You better not be a lesbian"

Says the guy I love.

"It's just a phase"

Says a friend.

"Get over it"

Says my father.

"You're a Catholic"

Says my mother.

So now I try to hide,

All my feelings inside.

Messed up,

Bottled up.

I don't want to hide anymore,

I want to be myself.

I am proud,

I'll say it out loud.

I am a bisexual,

And no one can change that.
