Fear of changing who you are
Physically
Fear of disappointment
Fear of discrimination
Fear of change
Acceptance is fear itself
Being one person yet feeling like another
Wanting more then what you are now
Regardless of who I am
I am still a human being
I am still a child of yours
Young or old
Boy or girl
I need more
I want more
I am more
Don’t fear me
I already fear myself
I just want to be me
Whatever way that’s meant to be
I maybe saying goodbye to one person but another person is emerging
Help me
Not hurt me
Please
I am me
I’m tired of lying
Empty lies
Not feeling myself
It’s finally time
I shed my skin
Not feeling like who I am
The time is now to come alive
Not fearing what I feel I have to be
Not a monster, not a freak
Just be me
I wrote this for all those who fear why the world, friends or family will think of those wanting to change. It’s a scary world sometimes and we all need to be supportive and help those who feel like they can’t speak or be who they want to be.
