i dont share a lot of my poetry with my family
it will shatter their existing image of me;
of who they want me to be
im too gay in my writing
too activist
too deep
too controversial
too...
real
so i share it with strangers
all of you beautiful strangers whom i will never meet
because you understand me more
than people ive known my whole life
you appreciate my depth and we can share our
love, pain, and struggles
together
