Be Proud
Rewind to when i would change
just in the hope to fit in
Hiding my true identity
as though a dirty sin
Wandering through life
head always in a spin
No matter i tried
always felt i couldn't win
Until randomly one day
it just came to me
Stop wasting all my time
denying who i was born to be
Like a bright ray of light
burning through a dark cloud
Filling me up with self love
to accept just who i am and be proud
About this poem
After years of self sabotage constantly trying to fit in im now at peace with who i truly am and realise if i dont feel i belong there then its because their not my people
