_October eleventh  
It fell on a weekend  
The raindrops were falling and windows were streaking  
I open my closet  
And what do I see there  
It's so nice and dark that I just want to be there  
Shielded from the wet skies  
No light reaches my eyes  
In the darkness as then  
I can't see what I am  
I might be a dragon  
I might be a woman  
It might be a mistake to think people are human  
Some might play in the storm  
But I'd rather be warm  
And enjoying my undisturbed solitude here  
Singing "Happy Coming Out Day,  
But I'm staying in."_
