Did you know that being honest is ok?
Not running away
Not pretending
That is only for those who are not honest
Because they can’t
They are afraid
But there is no difference except one thing
You are able to be afraid
And they are not
They cannot say these things out loud
Because they are afraid
While you are not
But how can that be if you are afraid
It’s only about something
Not being something
It’s not always about  being afraid though
It’s about ideas
Or trying something
It’s not worrying about what they think
It’s a test for them
Do they know you?
It’s time that they accept the changes
You won’t let it happen
Not to be who you are
You’re not going to think as a man or a woman
Only as who you are
Then they will know
You can still love who you wish to love
The way you wish to love
And they will know
But they won’t know what to think
Because you’re not afraid
Because you’re honest
Some people only speak with their voice
Their heart is silent
As is their soul
But yours are about to come alive
To use your voice
Not be ruled by it
You are not going to  be afraid to say it
That you loved them
That they hurt you
You are going to write something
It’s how you feel
That’s why it’s honest
You are going to no longer worry
What you feel
They feel
You are going to be able to say it
Because you’re honest
And you’re not afraid
They never knew that about you
Now they do
They'll be ok
