Jokes on you, my relatives have said my existence is unacceptable for years due to my sexuality
Jokes on your relatives, they're unacceptable and have demonstrated a such
It's why they got demoted from family to simply relatives
Family is the relationship, relatives are blood
Family doesn't treat me like they did
Finally getting away and being able to be me was bliss.
It was like stepping into the dawn and feeling the sun hit your face after a long cold night. The shivers that go through your body as the cold leaves your body.
The shaking breaths as the fresh air hits your lungs.
And the sadness for others still stuck in the darkness. Those afraid that the new day will be as dark as the old night. Those who are trapped still unable to breathe the air of freedom.
And for them I still dip into the shadows, so that I may show them the light. For without someone showing me the light I would have never gone through the pain to step out for myself.
Good for you.
I wish you well
