it must've been overwhelming but you didn't succumb,
-
you did it, and I'm so proud of you for that, my darling,
-
so proud of you.

Young Simon used to lie in bed at night...
-
..praying not to wake up.
-
"To cease upon the midnight with no pain."
-
But he kept waking up.
-
He realised he had to
-
tell his parents he was gay or kill himself.
-
So he decided having a dead son was slightly worse than
-
having a gay one and that's why he told them.
-
So even when he came out he did it for other people.
