Have ourselves a merry little Christmas?
Do the best we can…
Maybe this is the year
we come out to our family as trans?
Have ourselves a merry little Christmas?
What’s the worst to fear…
That we put it off
to some indefinite far-off year?
Here we are as in olden days
un-emboldened days of yore
with some friends who might fear for us
as we retreat to the closet once more
Through the years I hope we’re not together
If I don’t come out
No reason we should both be filled with fear and doubt…
At least YOU should have yourself a merry little Christmas now
