Coming Out

I dream of coming out,
Finally fully revealing my true self
In all my naked pride and glory,
Accepting myself for who I've always known myself to be,
And forcing the same from everybody else.

I dream of no longer being an outsider - 
By totally inhabiting myself
I find my people
Who smile and nod and extend friendly arms
Until I'm enfolded in the comfort and safety of
Where I've always belonged.

I dream of extending both middle fingers
To everybody who held me back,
Pushed me down,
Rejected my true nature either
Overtly or unknowingly,
Enemies nearly on par with Time.

I dream of finally coming out, 
Finally feeling how I always knew I should - 
Some day I will,
Some day I will be fully me,
Some day I will figure out just who it is I am meant to really be.
