An: my account was completely void of anything queen or Freddie Mercury how dare I???
—————————

I lied to you, but I can't say that I'm sorry.

I had to don't you see? Bad things happen when I come clean. People leave.

I am sorry that I can't tell you, it aches every single time I look at you. You are so amazing and strong, but I am so terrified.

I have lived in my corner for years. Hidden behind closed closet doors. I'm used to it. It keeps me safe. Especially here. I am safe now In this constricting cage of a wardrobe.

I may tell you one day.
You may already know.
But for now I have to hide what I feel.

But she is beautiful.
She is kind.

And maybe she will help me feel myself again.

This is something my heart has to conceal,
it hurts to keep it from you.
But after all,
I'm the great pretender.
