ChameleonQualities - Hello Poetry

Remember when the moon came out? And the world slept on, smiling in the dim light, loving the cool air, living in the joy and seeing through a half lit window. The people yawned and the animals watched and the moon glowed. Remember when the sun came out? And the world woke up with mixed emotions. Smiles and grumbles and complaints and love. A new day, lit up by the bright and assuring color of yellow that no one looks at. The flowers smiled. The people squint. And the sun glowed.

Luna and Sol

Remember when the moon came out? And the world slept on, smiling in the dim light, loving the cool air, living in the joy and seeing through a half lit window. The people yawned and the animals watched and the moon glowed. Remember when the sun came out? And the world woke up with mixed emotions. Smiles and grumbles and complaints and love. A new day, lit up by the bright and assuring color of yellow that no one looks at. The flowers smiled. The people squint. And the sun glowed.

Sometimes you feel like a secret. Everyone knew But Everyone forgot. And you live in my memory and you glow in my memory and you shine in my memory and I hate that you won't disappear

When can I sleep? When the sun comes up. When can I rest? When the stars fade out. When can I relax? When the world starts again.

I put off homework, I put off meals, I put off talking, I put off chores, I put off love, I put off life. I think I'll do it tomorrow.

There's too many people Who care too little And too many people Who "care" too much We need more people Who care just enough Who say hello on the street Who hold open doors Who smile across counters Who let you pet their dog

I don't regret it Being with you My first best friend My first girl crush Well that's a lie The first girl crush I allowed myself To acknowledge Was you. You scared me more Than anyone before you I lived on edge for months I don't regret the Music we shared And the times We cried And the times we Laughed And the times when I was too scared to sleep because I thought I'd wake up to you having gone. I don't regret loving you Even though it hurts Now And I hope you know That I still care. I will always care I think.

Closet Monster hides with shoes Under jackets Next to dresses Twiddling thumbs and waiting With a patience I am both scared and proud of. "When?" "Soon." Close the door, take a breath, open eyes, relax. The closet monster has your back, the closet monster knows how hard it is. It waits and waits and when it's freed, the joy is unreachable.

Into the mirror I whisper Grinning with the joy I sing The quiet reassurance That nothing else can bring. I grin because today I look the part I play I could pass as queer, I think Just passably "a gay". I smile and straighten my shoulders (The only thing that's straight) I let myself relax and smile I think I was worth the wait.

Can I Look Gay?
