Inbetween Worlds: Writing -- Poetry -- Thanks For Coming Out

Thanks For Coming Out

Thanks for coming out, you say.
I didn't do it for you, I laugh,
But if I could do it again, for you, I would.

Everything I've done,
Each success,
Each accomplishment,
I would gladly undo
And then repeat,
Whatever the cost, however painful,
All for you –
And weave you through all the moments
That make me who I am.

Yet if I could redo but one thing
I would shut out the light in my life,
Deafen my ears, blind my eyes, silence my tongue,
I would stop being me –
Just so I could come out
For you.
