BeYourself

How long have I lived for others? How long have I tried to fit in?

I push down my wants and needs I ignore my own feelings I put on a mask so everyone else will accept me

How far back does it go? How long have I been afraid?

I had questions I never asked Feelings I never expressed Options I never explored all so I wouldn't be laughed at

I don't know how long I may never know But I accept myself now So I'm finished pretending

It's time to be me

I am here I am visible I will be seen Speaking out is scary can get me hurt ostracized abandoned But this is who I am and I will be me I will not be silent No matter how loud I have to be I will let the world know that I EXIST
