We've all heard of a wolf in sheep's clothing,
But it's the opposite for me.
I've always been the odd one out,
Trying to fit in as much as possible,
But it never worked.
I always hid my real feelings,
Hoping I would look stronger than I was.
Even when my world was breaking,
I had to hold it together
So they didn’t know I was weak.
I stopped trying.
I took off the wolfs clothes
When it felt too heavy,
And embraced who I am.
I was found after that
By people who truly care.
I started showing my emotions more,
Even if I looked weak,
Because I was broken
And when I couldn't hold it together any longer.
They helped me pick up my broken pieces,
Slowly helping me become whole again.
