Coming Out


                                 WOULD YOU STOP PRETENDING? 

                                 That is what I told myself when I was trapped 

                                                   in the closet

                                                I said just smile

                                  Your feelings will melt quicker than ice

                                  I feel the battle in my head getting worse

                                  I feel my world turning to ashes

                                 I feel the walls getting closer and closer

                                                   Until I Say

                                                     STOP

                              I take a deep breath and say the four words

                                              I am bisexual and proud
