I came out the closet

Just to wish to disappear back in

There are

Words and labels and

So much feelings

Too much feelings

For the type of person

Who everyone has feelings for

What exactly are these feelings for?

Different gender,

Same feelings,

Same troubles,

Same disappointments

If I could go back,

I’d tell myself

To go even deeper

Until swallowed by

Sweatshirts and T-shirts

Like the ones she’d wear

Surrounded by boots and sneakers

Like the ones that she’d wear

I’d push myself deeper

Until I was covered in clothes

Only to see the light

When those feelings fold.
