Mike Hauser Poet Rhyme

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
