im still your son and brother

by Antwan Fields - Aries

even though i broke away, and how i wish it weren't so
so take my wine and drink with me, so you can bring my misery. im still your family, don't disavow your knowledge
of me. even as i kiss that which is the same as me, ill know you still love me. live and let me live. don't live my
life for me even as i try to be me
thank you, mom, even as the words came out of my mouth i wasn't sure you would still love me as your own. i destroy as i call, scream as i fall, and acceptance was all i wanted and i got it 
i love you mom, even as i catch grief from andre for my lifestyle choice, forgive me, for i could not deny what was
me, nor will i try
im still your son, stilll your brother, still your cousin, still your uncle, still your nephew
even if i am, if i am again, i said it already to mom
im gay
never will deny it again

Reason for writing:

    i feel that my mothers acceptance has helped me a lot
from denying what i am to reveling in what i am!!
