Inner fight with myself
Location
If you were to meet me, you'd see a shy girl.
Someone who sits in the back corner
Someone who talks as little as possible
Someone who keeps to herself
I could tell you the discouragement from my family keeps me that way
Or that others scare me into the way I am
But the only person holding me back is me
The fear consumes me
The fear of being rejected by society
The fear of my thoughts being laughed at
The fear of being judged for who I really am
Slowly I try to break out
But suddenly I pull myself back in
Unsure if it's a good idea
I grew up watching kids on tv being bullied
But truth is society around me is not like that
Yet I still feel like they'll start any day
I look at my friends and see how comfortable they are with themselves
And think to myself "One day that'll be me"
I won't be afraid to dance in front of others
I won't be afraid to speak my mind
I won't be afraid
But for today I continue fighting with myself
I fight for a peek at the world I could be a part of
And I won't stop fighting until it's my day
And tomorrow could be my day
