am i ready??

by Antwan Fields - Aries

ive made plans to be alone on that day 
mama loves me, she supports me that way 
i claimed to be straight for so long 
and now i ask my self is this it??
this is what i waited for, this is my destiny 
but i still feel boredom and i can't shake it
i feel the blue haze deepening around me and i think 
pop wrote me a letter and said that girls will be messing with my mind
i didn't have the heart to say its not the girls messing with my head
super! am i a coward? did i do something wrong??
and i was good, i never sang that song
i wept in my mind, cried behind my smile
as my name went into the x-file that holds and yet covers the hole in my soul
im ready to come out..or wait, am i??
openly gay, yet not that anyone would know
so i ask myself just one question i don't know the answer to
am i ready????
and if so, for what???

Reason for writing:

    im beginning to question my courage
