Behind my curtains

On the outside I ooze confidence, Im loud and opininated. I come off strong and positive. I am a mother and a father, a sister and a brother. Im tattooed and pierced. I dont show my fears and I am me.

On the inside I am scared, and alone. I am quiet and shy. I feel lost and am hard on myself. As a mother I can not show my weakness, as a father I can not break down. As a sister i am pressured to prove what I can do, as a brother i have a need to prove. My tattoos and piercings are my expression of individuality. I faer myself and the emotions i bring.
