Planted in my own space No time stampΒ Β Exiting pretending Eliminating ribbing and quick witting Sitting waiting no more To banter back and forth Alone you're just you No guilt in liking you Or the things you like You can embrace Self-acceptance The tiny bit of innocence you still hold Scoop, bottle, and carry it Your opinion is valid your thoughts aligned When I'm by myself I close my ears and open my mind And choose to listen to my me and never adhere to the voices outside
