Out of the Shadows

In the quiet before dawn,

I walked alone,

Shadows lingering in the dark,

I have grown.

A whispering heart,

secrets buried deep,

Veiled in the night,

a soul in silent weep.

Through the thicket,

a faint light I spied,

A beacon of hope,

where my fears now hide.

Step by step,

towards the warmth, I moved,

Each stride away from the dark,

in the canvas of life.

A gay man standing

In my truth, finally, 

peace I found.

so vast, so bright,

Yet, I dwelled,

in perpetual night.

for my heart's key,

To unlock the chains,

to set me free.

The moment came,

a crack in the sky,

A sliver of sun,

a sigh, a cry.

I stepped through the door,

out of the gloom,

Into a garden,

where my true self could bloom.

From darkness to light, a

path, I carved,

Accepting the love,

for so long starved.

A gay man’s journey,

from fear to
