To bare a hidden part of you
And lay it out for public view,
Is not an easy thing to do.

It isn't that you harbor shame,
But fear you won't be viewed the same,
And so you simply play the game.

But then one day you find a way,
And to the world you boldly say,
"Here I am; this is my way."

- Charles Edwards Moss

Note from the author: "...but until the last few years no one had ever seen my writing. When I finally decided to "come out" this is what I wrote."
