A Collection Of Gay-Themed Poetry
This is not a coming-out story.
It's what happens before, during, and after the words are spoken.
This Is Me Thinking Out Loud is a collection of gay-themed poems that traces the quiet interior moments of identity, love, visibility, and endurance. From first recognition to being seen, chosen, and finally settled into a life that no longer revolves around survival, these poems capture queerness as lived experience-intimate, reflective, and ongoing.
Each poem is image-driven and grounded in emotional truth, offering snapshots of attraction, fear, tenderness, partnership, and peace. The collection moves deliberately from internal thought to spoken truth, from visibility to connection, and ultimately to legacy-where love becomes practiced, home becomes real, and existence no longer needs justification.
This book is for anyone who has ever:
• Learned to stay quiet before learning to speak
• Loved carefully before loving openly
• Built a soft life after hard years
• Wondered if peace could be real and lasting
Whether you are still struggling, healing, thriving, or simply existing, these poems meet you where you are-without hierarchy, without urgency, and without apology.
This is me thinking out loud.
And maybe, somewhere in these pages,
you'll hear yourself too.
