The words I say feel fake as they pour out my mouth, a river of assurance hiding a false facade
My days are filled with hoping my mask never falls, but it's glass anyway that attempts to conceal my face
My cheeks rosey red as I grind my teeth together, a pit of worry in my stomach turns my mind over
This poem is about when I came out as non-binary. It expressed my belief that I should continue to hide this part of me and the feeling that my queerness was not valid
