Confession About Coming Out

Never have but always will.
Never have, because there was never a state of being;
I was coming out of.
I was never a way of being;
I was coming into.

Always am, because I am,
Always coming into my own.

Coming from being.
Coming into becoming.

The con of it all.
Being othered to make others more comfortable.

The comfort of it all.
Speaking your truth.
Standing in your truth.
Evolving in your existence.

The cage of it all.
The darkness you see.
The darkness you feel;
Being unseen.
The heaviness of your breaths
From your being.

Never coming out.
Always coming out.
Never in the closet
But always closed off.
Coming out
And coming into my own.
Never hiding from myself.
Always hidden from the world.
Never free.
Always freeing.

The con of it all.
The comfort of it all.
The cage of it all.

Never have but always will.
