Lies I tell myself
so that I can
pretend I
know who I am

I'm tired of
not knowing who
I am

Lying awake creating
scenarios in which
I know exactly
who I am

Having dreams where
I don't have to
question
what I love
and hate

Who I wanna
be and who
I want to
leave behind

Creating a life
in which I
know what
happens
next

not afraid
of the
uncertainty
tomorrow
holds for
us

Not having
self confidence
issues in which
I feel happy
and free

Able to love myself
without needing
acceptance from
the people
around me

So goody bye lies
its time I let go
of the toxic
food you've
fed me for
far too
long
