Story “Accepting
Yourself” By Michael Cerwinski |
Desciption of Submission: “This is a poem that
I wrote about me accepting myself for being a homosexual. I hope you enjoy.” -

Some humans describe this
like a flaw or sin And some religions often
put it down I, myself, am a homosexual
Living in a small, small
town I was ridiculed throughout
middle school Because I have a passion
for dance Kids called me “fag”,
“homo” and “queer” I thought I never had a
chance I’d come My green eyes filled with
tears This didn’t last for just
a few months I sobbed though my
adolescent years I remember not have a
single friend At this time I wanted to
die I felt like I was an alien Because I liked a guy As I progressed to high
school I focused more on my
career I made friends in the arts And fewer jokes, I did
hear I finally began to accept
myself So I took the next big
step I came out to my best
friend Katie It was a secret that she
kept My parents eventually
found out From an experience on the
web They totally understood my
ways God love Mike and Deb! Now I am a graduating
senior And most of my school does
know People constantly talk
about me But it’s they’re
self-esteem that is low I totally accept myself
today As do all of my friends My family will love me no
matter what And so the story ends! |
