Filled with gay
May I stay
Stay hopeful
Hope for this
I wouldn't miss
Miss this *******
******* of a gig
Giggles fill the air
Excited about hearing
Hearts beyond repair
Although mine isn't
Broken, merely
Hiding in the shadows
The feelings
Hidden for so long
I'm not sure if they're
Still there
I think they are
Not too far
Far from the spotlight
Am I to fight
This gentle little light
From becoming
This ball of ember
Remember how a light
That shines too bright
Becomes a fire that
Burns and hurts
Turn now
Go back
Back into the night
I made this poem before an emo-tribute event. I was excited about going, almost didn't make it. But, I'm glad I did. (11-05-15)
