When I saw this fella's Poem online, I immediately wondered: who is he?

Is the poem HIS story?

Or someone he knows?

A Poem For The Closeted speaks to feelings that I Suspect many men and women have experienced.

Sadly, I suspect there are many who still are.

I hope my reading of this poem reaches its writer: Troy Steadman.

If I ever met him, I'd ask: "Are you really OK?"

And I'd tell him: "Thankfully, I am."
