Give them a chance to be on your side
preconceived notions tell you to hide
but,
opening up may yield a surprise...
even still,
what if abandonment i was right to expect?
what if the truth leaves me shipwrecked?
wait,
maybe now is not the right time
should i stay mute and continue to mime?
no,
why is it that this is so hard to say,
the thing about the matter is... i'm gay.
