I know they will love me

So why am I scared?

I want to tell them first,

To feel some sense of relief.

I can’t tell anyone else,

Until I tell them.

But the action istself,

Is utterly terrifying.

I don’t know how to do it

So i drop subtle hints

Defend peoples rights,

And hope for the best

I am starting to think that,

My closet is made of glass.

Because a friend gave me pride pins

And i haven’t told a soul.

Maybe its the fact that i support basic rights,

Only watch heartstopper

And am obsessed with Mauraders.

Or am I getting in my own head?

I know they won’t care,

My parents at least.

There are others who will

Who will care way too much.

I don’t know how to come out

The people on this app

Who don’t know who i am

Give me so much support.

I will come out someday

And the day that I do

I will make it known

I promise you that

There will be a pride flag in my bio

And a poem about it

Unless thats too much.

Am i oversharing?

But for now I will say

Its a confession thats hard to make

But i know for a fact

I am queer.
