I used to hide from the mirror wearing clothes that didn’t fit every day I played the part like I was someone else but deep inside I knew the real me was still waiting for the moment I could be without pretending to be... the good son Time started to feel too heavy and I couldn’t hold it all everybody relied on me like I was built to carry but I was breaking under the weight of everyone else’s expectations I finally found my way I stopped hiding from the day I started living my truth Now I feel like I belong The years kept coming and I kept trying to be the person they wanted but I was always running from who I was every little thing I reached for to keep me safe to keep me calm fell apart and I realized I needed to be me... not someone else Then I stopped pretending and started being myself for the first time I felt like I was in control of my own life and I smiled for the first time in a long while I finally found my way I stopped hiding from the day I started living my truth Now I feel like I belong I’m still learning but I’m not afraid I’m not afraid to be the woman I was always meant to be I’m not afraid to be me any more I finally found my way I stopped hiding from the day I started living my truth and now it feels like I’m... Finally alive
