I was so caught up
with the idea that coming out
was going to be freeing.
Day dreaming of all the pride
related things,
like joining a club,
going to the parade
and just being able
to be out and proud
that I forgot
shit doesn't work like that
That wither or not
I come out, anxiety
will still struggle me
when I ask to do
anything pride related.
I will still have to exempt
any of the language associated
with the LGBTQ+ community
instead of it being a pride parade,
it's just a parade, just a club, just a friend.
