Today,

I opened up a piece of myself

One often kept in a dark corner

And displayed it on a page

with my name and photo

In hopes that someone else

can know they are not alone

and find the courage to do what they know is right

Today,

you sat behind a computer screen

anonymous

Typing a deeply flawed argument

in the comments section.

Tomorrow,

I will wake up

Meet my reflection

and smile.

And you will go back to staring

at that blank

glowing

screen.
