"It's just a phase" Or is it? My labels have changed many times Yes, that is true That doesn't mean it's a phase Life is a journey And discovering yourself takes time There're twists and turns and backtracking "Maybe I'm this label" "No, maybe I'm this" The journey may be long But it's never without purpose Your journey is valid My journey is valid I am Liam And that is my truth Say my name, my real name For that is who I am Not the version in your head I am me I am Liam Respect it or leave Be who you are And don't let anyone question it You are you Never change to fit someone else's expectations You are not a Build-a-Bear

Build-a-Bear
oh, silly gardener when will you concede? azaleas will simply never grow from mere old papaya seeds you blame it on the soil you blame it on the weather now it's drowning in excess water can't you see how much it suffers? i know you love azaleas but please just stop and ponder what you sowed were papaya seeds and they are too a wonder it's not how you tried to prune them or because of your undevotion but what you sowed were papaya seeds growing beautifully in your garden

the gardener who only loved azaleas
Just because the world changes Every day, hour, minute, and second, Doesn't mean you have to. But, then again, Maybe that's exactly why you should.

To change or not to change
They say to you just stay how you are Don’t change you’re perfect how you are. But I can’t promise that I won’t change. Im a person I change. If we say goodbye Say I’m happy when I’m gonna see you again instead of saying stay how you are. People change But there can be a future with this person if you really connect. But don’t expect anybody to always stay the same. Change is good.

Stay how you are
I was not born with fear fear was put into me I was not born with insecurities society skewed my mind to believe In beauty I'm was born free, curious and untrained from formal normalitys why must an individual become parallel normal is varied so why do we try to be alike and we try to fit into a illusion that a society creates a society that changes and grows but how is so people can't be different and unique a double standarded we so apparently have to keep we were born at different times and different hours we are raised in different places and situations do not let yourself be finalized by an acceptance and become one of society's many prisoners pressure might turn coal into a diamond but for others it shall break them

Not born the way we are
I am not the person you want me to be. I won't be the person you want me to be. I don't try to be the person you want me to be. I won't try to be the person you want me to be. I am the person that I am. I will be the person that I will be. Don't try to change me. I won't change. I don't want to change

Change
*Scenery change is a must, a change in pace, a change in almost everything; but you. You're timeless, You're the only thing I want to stay constant.*

Change Everything but Yourself.
In the depth of our existence, the ‘real us’ dwells, which often remains untouched, ofttimes unspelled. Don’t empower the peeps to impose their thoughts, Be the brainchild of your conviction and you’d be sought. Books that ****** ideas and structure our notion, Make us go astray from our real aspiration. Don’t let the world dilute your soul; You are a born sierra, not a trivial knoll! -Elina Dawoodani
