The Choices We Make...
An empty space so deep inside,
A hollow that I will no longer hide.
I am not weak just easily swayed,
A prime target on which to be preyed.
But all will change and of this I am sure,
Pain and torment I will no longer endure.
Evolution is key to survive in this place,
And evolve I will in pride and in grace.
The person I've hidden for so long in the dark,
About to burst free my word you can mark.
The smiles that show and the hand I extend,
Will be true and will stand my long lasting friend.
A novel creation and a unique direction,
I have no doubt it will cause greater friction.
No point in living if you don't feel alive,
So from this point for life I will strive.
A genesis of sort a new beginning unfolds,
Now its time to see what my future holds.
It will not be easy I never said that it would,
Nor am I the fool that thinks that it should.
I don't owe you a reason, conclusion or theory,
All I know is that it's time to do this for me.
I'm not sure where I'll go or what I'll become,
But this is my choice what's done is now done.

Dear Tempo,
Am I right to read that as Michael-Kent's coming out poem? I'm not sure that there isn't some other momentous decision in there.
Anyway I hope the 'greater friction' will be overcome by the positive new attitude!
Love,
Anthony

Tempo,
When I read it, this poem is about me. I wasted many years in my current relationship hiding behind masks. Since I have removed the mask, I feel so much more loved and appreciated in my relationship. If I would remove the mask before the world, however, it would probably complicate my life. For me, the cost/benefit scenario of showing my true self to the world does not look favorable.
Behold, how good and how pleasant it is
For brothers to dwell together in unity!

It's nice to see positive hope for the future.
Won't ask what it means.
Have sure missed your emails
Good luck
