GO AND TELL MY FATHER

Go and tell my father

That I angry

I am unhappy

I have lost my peace

I am losing control over my own self

And that I badly await for my freedom

Tell my father, that I am above 18

In my country I am an adult

That even sweet Cordelia could not

Flatter his father and so will I not

That now I will love him for my father

Because I have a lover

That least I do the abomination of today

Men sleep with men and so are women

That women sleep with women and so are men

I refrain from saying it is satisfying

Sexual pleasure

The results are worse than pleasure

Go tell father to support me

It is his right and obligation

Tell him to accept the facts that like any other teenager

I am growing up

Please tell father that if my feelings

Be not seen, they be not dead

That if I shall kill them now

I so shall kill my feelings

And so shall he kill his pride

And so shall he kill his linage

And so shall he kill him forever

Let him not die like a poor man

Do not forget to tell father,

To please understand

That I shall not kill my feelings

I shall do what I feel is right

I will not sacrifice my feelings

At the altar of his ego.
