MY Journey to the Rainbow’s End

MY Journey to the Rainbow’s End

(Full Short Story from “Journey to the Rainbow’s End; A Drag Queen’s Odyssey”)

This short story is from the poetry anthology titled, "Journey to the Rainbow's End; A Drag Queen's Odyssey". Robert is a gay man trapped in a world of self-hate and religious convictions. He struggles throughout his life to come to terms with his sexuality and orientation. He feels like an utter misfit toy on an island where there are nothing but perfect Barbie and Ken Dolls. Robert reflects on his journey in being true to himself and finding his own personal voice in an effort to help others who may feel defeated or lost. Robert walks down the pathways of coming out and coming of age to become a functional adult who contributes to the world around him, reminding us that journeying to the rainbow’s end is about allowing yourself to be open to change, and, exploring everything that comes your way, with no regret, or hesitancy, and acknowledging that there is really never a real end to the rainbow, just a continuation of the journey called life.
