Do you ever feel scared of yourself?
Scared of who you are, scared of who you'll become, scared you might be happy but others might not, scared you won't be happy and others will. Scared of who you once were. We all have parts of who we are, those are called labels.
"I am a straight white cis male."
"I am a straight cis woman of colour."
"I am a genderfluid pansexual latino."
Those are labels.
I'm afraid of my label. I can't bring myself to say it. Sometimes I think I'm just a cruel person but- I don't care if other people are what I am, I'm just afraid of being who I am.
I can't bring myself to say it and I don't think I'll ever be able to.
Sometimes people will ask me the question, but, I'd just lie- I do just lie. This is the real me but I'm not ready.
