THESE CHAINS
 
I can remember the day
when someone first told me
what I felt in my heart should be gone.
 
I remember the embarrassment,
the grief and the wondering
as I questioned why I was so wrong.
 
I wonder if they know what they stole from me
How they robbed me of the joy of my youth.
 
They forced me to wander in a dark place
full of pain that could not be soothed.
 
I finally found my way back to life
as I learned what it means to be gay.
 
Whenever I feel those chains on my soul,
I break them and throw them away.
