Part one of a 2 part drawing of one of my sonas, Kibwe.

For too long, I've been suppressing
who I am, expressing it rarely, only online.
But every time in-person, I'd shy away
due to fear, and even some shame.
Supporting others from afar, but not
able to fully accept myself, just
lost, confused, longing, languishing.
Convincing myself that hiding in a
familiar darkness was okay.
Maybe one day things would change.
Maybe one day.
