You know, everyone’s always moving so fast. And yeah I’m here, always here. I’m tense. Everyday I walk Can’t help but feel that one wrong move and you’ll lose it all.
Yeah sure, I smile. Yeah sure, I look cold. Yeah sure, I don’t look scared. But I am. I really really am. I just don’t want you to see it. I wear a mask. Believe me, I’m scared.
Okay I get it. I’m just saying this in a poem. In hopes you don’t bother to read, but hoping you actually would.
I’m actually here just to tell you You’re never alone There’s always someone in a million people that try to look down on you, on me, on us, on them, on her, on him And still feel tense and regret Because they’re not this. They’re not that.
Get this. We are human. If you can’t do it. You can’t. It is no one’s responsibility to live in the standards, to be a living drone of the flaws of society or the stereotypes from our brains.
You just be you and I’ll be me. But don’t *****. Cuz the world doesn’t always need one. Just be youself,
Really. I mean it. Just be you in a way you hurt no one.
Not even yourself.

** Seeing how warmly everyone accepted my poem last last week really warmed my heart. Really, thank you everyone. Now, this poem is actually one of my older poems in tumblr and I just wanted to share to all of you that IT IS OKAY TO BE DIFFERENT. BUT SO LONG AS IT HURTS NO ONE AND NOT EVEN YOU IN THE PROCESS.
Thank you thank you so so so so much for the support everyone.
