I write late at night
sitting in darkness
hiding from the world
lost in daydreams
remembering secrets
no one else can know
not even my love
who really knows me
things I hid from
my best friends
secrets we don't whisper
things that scare me
like sitting here alone
in the darkness

a picture of me
a shy boy
standing in front
of a closed door
tight fist
clutching the [illegible]
tears running down
red cheeks
it takes courage
to go on from here
courage and confidence
two of the things
I was unable to gain
as a little boy
maybe I will end
this story here.
