I don't want to hide who I am anymore
I don't want to hold back anymore
I want to be myself
Truly myself and nothing else
I don't want to change or hide anything for anyone
Not society
Not people I know
Not my family
Not my friends
Not any person whose mind is too small to handle it
I'm bisexual
I'm genderfluid
My pronouns are she/her and they/them
I'm 22 and I want to dye my hair pink
I want to cover every inch of my arms with tatttoos
I want to take pictures of pretty flowers and beautiful sunsets, I don't care if you think it's too much
I want to play in the snow and cuddle my teddy bear
I want to go stargazing and search for animals in the clouds
I wanna jump in a bouncy castle and loose against my cousins in Mario Kart
I want to express myself through the way I dress and I don't give a fuck if you think that piece of clothing doesn't suit my body type
Nothing makes me look fat or is unflattering your mind is just ugly enough to think that
Why do you care about that anyways?
I want to be creative again
I want to take 30 minutes for a shower because I spend 20 of them dancing in front of a mirror
I wanna sing so poorly that your ears start bleeding but your heart starts laughing
I want to pierce my ears even more
I don't know what job I want to do yet but I'm sure as hell not changing a single thing about me for it
You think tattoos need to have a meaning? Watch me get that butterfly just because I think it looks pretty on my hand
I want to go out of my way to make people happy because it makes my heart feel warm
I want to live in a world where people care about each other more
In a world where people choose love over hate
A world where people don't judge that homeless person on the side of the road or that sex worker on the other side of the street
I want to live in a world where people start listening instead of judging
In a world where everyone is accepted for who they are
A world where no one gets harassed or killed because they love someone you wouldn't expect
I want to live in a world where I don't have to be afraid to take a walk in the dark
In a world where people are given a second chance
A world where it doesn't matter what you look like
I just want to live in a world that could so easily be achieved if people started to keep an open mind and look behind their own horizon from time to time.
The kind of world that no one deems possible because no one dares to try
Because everybody is afraid of the world they live in
So I want to be all of me
Because I want to be the change I want to see in this world
Because this is the kind of world I'm living in
If I like it or not
