EMPTY CLOSETS
By Michael Marczak

 First steps are the hardest
Coming out of the dark

Learning not to cringe
At every hateful remark

Taking their blows
And keeping in stride

I learn to wear them
As my own sign of pride

It’s like sand in my eye
This banner they wave

But soon I learn
There are new roads to pave

Unacceptance
Is the greatest fear of all

But a man’s stature
Is his capability to stand tall

Freedom
Is the nature of the soul

And my closets are empty
But my dining room is full
