Intact

Written 10/6/14. I was in a house full of guys that made me feel completely comfortable with myself, and it was a really refreshing experience...they were like me.

For once I felt it

That comfort in my own skin

It was a welcome sensation

from the place I was in

They knew me

And I knew them

There was no hiding

I didn't feel like mortal sin

I felt like I was

Exactly who I am

An example of flaw

An example of man

I love who I love

It's just me

I am my own seedling

from my family tree

I felt natural

I felt okay

I'm living my own life

In my own unique way

That  sense of comfort

Acceptance so pure

Sometime I must go back

I'm yearning for more

That welcome knowing

Not needing an act

for the first time in a long time

I felt intact

They were my own kind

They were like me

I felt less complicated

for once I could just be
