Growing up
July 7, 2017
Growing up I knew I was different,
Growing up I wanted to fit in,
Growing up I tried to be the person everyone wanted me to be,
Growing up I was shy,
Growing up I wasn't even the lest bit confident in myself,
Growing up I wasn't who I wanted to be,
Growing up I was filled with anger and pain,
Growing up I was ashamed of who I was making myself be but now....
Now I've grown up!
I'm me,
I'm confident,
I'm strong,
I'm happy,
I'm independent,
I'm everything I want to be without others input on who I am,
I'm not the kind of person who cares what others think anymore,
I'm just myself and that's good enough to me!
