Scared of my shadow

My full self wants to say hi

The closet stays locked

I’ve told my friends now

To them I am the same me

But I’m not, I’m more

Bloomed to my full self

I want my parents to know

But they won’t like it

My dad shrugged it off

My mom had a full meltdown

Her dream daughter’s gone

I thought I came out

But I have a girlfriend now

We never discuss
