If I Was A Gay Man
If I was a gay man
Aiming to be me
Loving love as I do
From the 1970’s
Would I retreat to darkness
Sheltered in my fear
I contemplate a different me
Not a life sincere
If I loved a man
Transparent as I am
My preference sleeved and ready
Friends I would not have
On the field of dreams
My glove did not perform
Cast aside for less deserved
For living in my soul
I love a woman
What if I loved a man
Today I could be married
Take my lover’s hand
Me no longer hiding
Not meant to feel ashamed
My passion wholly granted
I am who I am
