In honor of The Day of Silence. 4/25/08 Stand and be counted.

This is from a male point of view.

Coming Out

My heart pounds out a rhythm,

my feet can't avoid.

The darkness takes my emotions,

it cast them into the noise.

A phony smile hides the things,

that the bandages won't.

How many times have I been told,

Somethings you do, some you don't.

A nervous grin, and shaking hands.

A dash of hope, some careful plans.

Now...To tell the world,

...I love a man.

This is just a brief poem to honor homosexuals and their courage. I enjoy writing poetry from prompts so please. Feel free to suggest one. Flames welcome, I guess? Rate/Review
