A Healing Break
a poem for National Coming Out Day
Hello, it’s me … it’s you … it’s us
We’re still here, we made it
You protected me for so long
Were so strong despite your pain
But here I am now, still here … still breathing
Leaving that shell, leaving your protection
Was both the hardest thing to do
Yet the best thing I’ve ever done
A perfect path? By no means
Still, I smile brighter everyday
Take another step forward
Becoming more me each time
More and more I discover and learn
Who I am, Who I love, What I want
Because you had strength …
To crack

I just want to say to anyone who for whatever reason is still in the closet, and unable or not ready to come out. Stay until you feel safe and ready, there's no rules to it, no right or wrong way ... just letting people into your world, showing them, the real you.
First there's no rule that says you have to come out.
Second, stay safe.
Three, I love you.
