Pseudonym

Years have passed with me

trying to hide my feelings

and the thoughts in my head

that had sent me reeling.

I finally woke up to realise

that I did have a choice,

one that showed me

I could find my true voice.

That would tell the world

a whole different story

about someone who doesn’t

belong in any fixed category.

Somebody who said

that this was not him,

he had lived his old life

under a pseudonym.
