Break Out

by rachel-julia

Dear world, I have something I have been dying to tell you. For some time I have known something about myself that most of you don’t. I know myself better now than I ever have before. So I have decided to end my hiding. to let myself live in the light from now on I spent far too long wondering how you would react when I told you. Now I know, how you react is not my choice it is yours alone I am who I am I cannot change and I don’t even want to I am not ashamed I am no longer afraid Your acceptance and love is valuable but I can stand on my own feet and when I my feet get tired and my legs grow weak they will catch me. I am loved I am accepted And love overcomes all. So when finally break down the final wall of this cage and I tell you ************* Whether you choose to love me for me or not I will be okay because I am loved I am accepted and I am strong We are strong and we are not going away I am the same me I will speak I will be a voice for the voiceless I will be me and I will never be silent

Notes

This poem was written during my coming out process. The line of ****** is meant to be a place for any sort of confession or truth to be placed. For me it was, "that I am gay" but this line can chance for any person or situation. If you are working on coming out or anything else like that please feel free to use my poem if you would like. I would like to ask for credit of some sort if you repost. Thank you for reading. x
