For Thirty-Three years of this I did not speak The World and I had always told myself...I was a Freak I always wondered...why did this happen to me? I only tried to be what God wanted me to be The Closet was a safe place...but also a lie I knew if I stayed there...surely I would die As the years went by...my soul grew weak Out of a life of misery and shame...I had to speak The days are not bright yet and the nights are still long But a Three decade old burden lifted...could not have been wrong I still think I'm a freak of nature...what else could it be? I'm still ashamed that I'm gay...but finally..I'm Free! Copyright ©1997 Jeff Buckner
