Challenge
Write about coming out! This time in the point of view of a parent hearing it from their child.
The New Voice
You did it, baby,
Now you don't have to be afraid.
I gave you your life, but your debt is repaid.
I've known who you are,
Now you know it, too,
And I'm so proud of you!
Don't hide, and don't lie,
You don't know what'll happen if you never try.
Be the voice for the mute and the fearful,
Even if the result is ultimately tearful.
No matter what happens,
You can come to me,
And don't ever think that you have to run from me.
I may be your mother,
But I'm also your friend,
And whether in body or in spirit,
I'll be with you until the end.
