I
am so beautiful it scares the hell out of me
I
always forget though so I settle
And
I hide in the dark because I don’t want anyone to notice me and it’s safe in my
corner
But
I know it’s a lie
Because
what I really want is to be seen;
To
blossom under the right attention
To
love fiercely and without borders and to give all the light I carry
To
be given the chance to pour it all into something or someone
To
live life breaking down every wall
And
pulling off everything that has become a yoke about my neck
To
raise my hands and my face to the sun and smile
To
not be afraid that I’ll end up alone or never good enough
To
no longer suppress the undeniable hurt of rejection and abuse
Because
I’ve learnt to dissolve my feelings of shame and let them pass with time
To
embrace my inadequacies because no one was created to be perfect
To
stop putting myself under so much pressure that hurts my head
And
to realize that I’m free……….like I’M FREE!
Like seriously……….I’M REALLY FREE!
I ended an amazing
conversation with a good friend, faced my laptop and poured the above out in
like 2 minutes. Before I made up my mind to over-edit or judge myself or fully
understand what came out of my heart I decided to publish here. I hope it helps
someone…………..
The image makes me smile
so I used it.
