STAND

I knew I had to stop running,
Something within pushed me to change,
I had to change,
I had to accept who I was,
My mistakes, my dents, my bends,
I had to fit in to been me,
Not for them but for me,
I had to stop running,
Turning who I was ,who I am,
Trying to be some else felt wrong,
I’d hidden myself for too long,
Too long I almost forgot to be me,
It wasn’t right,
I was supposed to be proud to be me,
I was supposed to accept it all,
Everything,
I had to love the little person in me,
Accept that little person,
Be proud,
It would be hard, but I had to,
I had to pick up the pieces left
The little pieces of my identity,
Pieces of me,
It was time to be me.
