stepping out
this is it!
promised myself I’d tell them now
my first weekend back after starting uni
we’ve had a lovely meal
here we are sitting round the fire
the cosy home where they brought me up
they are so proud of me
in a moment
everything will be changed
they will never look at me the same way
will I and my friends be welcome?
what right have I to disturb their world?
I’ll be relieved to be out of the closet
but they’ll be out of their comfort zone
