I am from hiding.

From being self conscoious

about what people think of me.

I am from constanty biting my tongue

even though what I wanted to say

was extremely useful and valuable.

 

I am from being sared,

where you feel as if being yourself

isn't good enough.

I am from being antisocial around strangers

to being extremely outgoing around people close to me.

 

I am from crowded hallways,

so crowded that you get bumped

and tripped everytime you turn.

I am from rosy cheeks,

that looked like tomatos everytime someone approached me.

 

I am no longer from behind the curtain.

I am now from making friends and doing my best

even if I get a little embarrassed.

I am from not sweating the small things,

but focusing more on my future.

I am from being talkative and being outspoken,

rather than not saying what I think or

how I feel.

 

I am from life lessons,

lessons that have enlightened me and have

opened my eyes to who I really am.

This is who I have become.
