I came out today
Peeked my head from the closet
Where I hung my doubts
Like warm winter coats
Worn when the world seemed cold, then
I stepped out today
Faced the frigid air
Without any protection
And slammed the door shut
The sting of the wind
Subsided and Spring sprung when
I came out today

Reposted 09/19/2019 because I finally came out to our entire department at work today and I cannot even describe the amount of relief and support I feel.
elegant, simple, beatiful…
