I can tell by the scrunch in my sisters nose when she sees a gay couple that I will never come out It’s not a comment, it’s not even audible But I can see the distaste on her face I can tell by the way she clings to her bible on a Sunday morning that I will never share my true self She clutches it like a security blanket, trying to protect herself from the sin in the world Where I see love she sees a blanket of immorality wrapping them up and taking away the good I know how she feels when she sees sin in others But how would she feel if she knew the sin was inside of me

Coming Out
I can tell by the scrunch in my sisters nose when she sees a gay couple that I will never come out It’s not a comment, it’s not even audible But I can see the distaste on her face I can tell by the way she clings to her bible on a Sunday morning that I will never share my true self She clutches it like a security blanket, trying to protect herself from the sin in the world Where I see love she sees a blanket of immorality wrapping them up and taking away the good I know how she feels when she sees sin in others But how would she feel if she knew the sin was inside of me
