Out of the Closet
The day I came out of the closet
Was the day that freedom rang
Stepping up to bat with the fact
That something had to change
While some may call me a sissy
A girly girl among men
It is well worth all of that hurt
To enjoy this life style I live
Guaranteed I don't look any differently
At a glance you'd never know
I still have the smile I've had all this while
And I don't wear flamboyant clothes
I still talk with a Southern draw
Without the slightest hint of a lisp
If you're looking for a difference
You'd be hard pressed to find what that is
But I'm waving the banner proudly
In case you didn't know it
For all the world to see that yes this is me
Out of the closet...I proudly am a poet
