Future is Now
I always looked to the future sadly
Quickly two years seemed to pass me
I survived, here I am, I am happy.
I talk more now, to them, my dear friends
Who had before been left behind
By my blinding depressed isolation
But now I’m free and here they are
We laugh and I enjoy their company
I speak, here I am, I am happy
I am comfortable with myself
I can say now I’m pansexual,
Gender-fluid and now myself.
I pushed away the people who poison me
And have administered the antidote
I am healing, I am here, I am happy,
Finally.
