Don't come out for me.

Come out for you.

.

No need for fanfare or announcements.

No pressure to say it in the right tone

or write it in the right font.

.

You don't need to tell anyone really.

.

But trust yourself

to know yourself

and love yourself.

Even that part.

.

And know I love that part of you, too.
