Secret
Poem

 
 I
keep
on
running,
running
far
away
 
 It
is
something
I
cannot
control

 But
I
tell
no
one
and
that
takes
its
toll
 
 I
try
to
fight
it
and
lock
it
in
inside
of
me
 And
try
so
hard
to
make
myself
seem
manly
 
 If
my
best
friend
knew
he’d
tear
me
limb
from
limb
 I
have
always
been
his
wingman
and
spotted
him
at
the
gym
 
 I
keep
on
running,
running
far
away
 But
wherever
I
run
my
secret
is
at
my
heels
here
to
stay
 Its
been
building
up
inside
of
me
like
steam
in
a
kettle.
I’m
gay.
