My Confession of Being Me
Location
Masks are what we hide behind everyday
We feel as if it is the only way
To fit the standards of society
Afraid of individuality
Terrified of people seeing our flaws
Being exposed with emotions so raw
Why do we hide away from ourselves?
Putting pieces of us up on shelves
To be forgotten about slowly
Until there is nothing left but debris
Of a lively person we once knew
The one that we ignore and eschew
But I am not afraid to be me
I accept my defects willingly
I am a girl with a strong mindset
I am someone you’ll never forget
With a laugh that can be heard for miles
With quirky jokes that make people smile
I am always there for my friends
My love for them will never end
Even when we get into fights
I’m worrying if they’re alright
I’m someone who will never leave
Even when a person hurts me
People always say that I care way too much
But I’d rather care a ton than not enough
I know how it feels to be lost and alone
Feeling like you are going through life unknown
A stranger to the ones who should know you best
That horrible, maddening, awful unrest
This is why I hate when others are mistreated
Since I know how it feels to be defeated
Almost as if you have nothing left to give
Just wishing and hoping that you would not live
To never again see another sunrise
Because you’re sick of no one hearing your cries
But I am glad I went through that rough time
Pushing myself to make it through that climb
Because it helped to truly better me,
Made me the person I wanted to be
Changed my attitude into positive
Made me thankful for my strong-will to live
Now I make sure to smile each and everyday
And I don’t let petty things get in the way
When I’m sad I pick myself up off the ground
Life is difficult but it won’t slow me down
Because I know I deserve to be happy
And that’s why I love myself for being me
