"The Other Me"
A poem about a really hard time in my life, struggling with my sexuality.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
They argue so loud the neighbors hear
Never there to lend an ear
Alone in my room, I play my games
Listening to strangers with funny names
I grit my teeth and perform my part
Afraid to share what's in my heart
Then you came to shine a light
Brought out the sun gleaming bright
Cherished the moments we'd sneak away
My love I struggled to convey
Let my demons drive a wedge
Push me closer to the ledge
I turned my back to the world
My soul packed up neatly furled
Shut off the lights and hid away
All that's left is bleak and grey
I did not want the world to see
The rainbow colored other me

I hope I didn't waist your time reading this. I'm really not the best writer.
