Lately I find myself hating
Me but then
I realize as I pause, that my flaws
Make me all I am

And all I am not, knots my stomach
But before I plummet to self loathing
That causes my insides eroding
I chose to stop internal imploding

By telling myself that only hoping
To be someone else
Makes me as fake as the snakes
That are the reason I need help

So I release all the doubt
And remind myself, to not give a ****
And consciously decide to give my reflection, affection, and be who I am

And those who oppose, can
Like I suppose they will
But our only chance to ever advance
Stands in knowing being unfulfilled

Comes from fighting who we are
Or we can never be
The person were meant to me
So be you, and I'll be me

Then we are truly free
Be you, and I'll be me
Cuz that's the only way
We are ever truly free
