Sometimes you just want to fit in
Need to
I don't remember when it started
Just know I can't stop
There must be a sliver of me in me
But it's lost
Or buried deep inside
So much has happened
I'm not a little kid anymore
I've had masks
So many
Too many
Some cracked and others shattered
I even threw a few away
It hurt a lot
Dropping my shields
My walls
My identity
I don't know who I am
The road is long and still going
Very bumpy and has lots of holes
I've fallen in but I climb out
Eventually
Hopefully
One day I'll learn
I haven't seen myself in awhile
There are strangers in the mirrors
They look sad
Tears run freely when alone
I saw a few bruises
But now
there's just an air of tiredness
Old eyes in a young body
A scarred soul in a hurt mind
Scars litter the skin
Fading as this life goes on
Growing up isn't easy
It's not fun or romantic
There's no Prince
No yellow brick road guiding us
You're not alone
But god does it feel like it
It's a journey.
A long one.
Make it worth the pain.
