Society Makes Me Self-Conscious

Location

Thoughts and thoughts running through my head

I want to share them but fear the feedback of society;

I'm usually one to keep to herself, but

sometimes I like to be heard.

I crave attention, yet refuse it once I get it.

Am I shy or am I just fearful of other's opinions?

Society tells you to be you,

But once you show your inner self, they shun you.

How can I be myself if no one lets me?

I want to pull back this curtain and be the crazy, carefree girl I want myself to be

But yet again, nobody likes an outspoken girl.
