Growing up, I was told that I'm too much.
I wonder if I'm even worthy of this heart.
My self-expression was spat on relentlessly.
How am I supposed to bare my soul?
The feeling of running into shadows after being treated like a wild beast still lingers. It's the only place I'm allowed to feel without the fear of being hunted.
I watched my all of my peers express their joy and love in total freedom.
Devalued were those same feelings in me.
I was always on the outside looking in when it came to human connection.
