FTW

At home I am queen
Dimensions familiar
Etiquette unnecessary
Conventions mine
The parameters of my psyche
Undefined, my weirdnesses
Necessary for context.

When I go out
I zip my lips,
I wear sunglasses
And a bra and a mask,
And I ignore how being out
Amongst the other two-leggeds
Can be crushing.

But I'm not the only one.

    we wear a brave face
    but beauty is hidden
    our souls shine
    but we keep the blinds drawn

    we're becoming endangered
    as we keep ourselves hidden
    can't find one-another
    the world knows not its loss

    That's so poignant, Tom. ♡
