To not know who you are is a scary feeling
People are hypocritical, saying be yourself and when you are they judge you more
They judge you for who you are, they judge you for your grades or your looks or your family.
They pierce you wherever it will hurt the worst.
They find your Akilese heel and they attack with no mercy.
Being like me is like a hole in your heart.
It starts out small and so nobody makes a big deal out of it.
But then it grows.
And grows.
And it hurts me because if they can be themselves and hold hands with girls why can't I do the same?
When I hold hands with a boy they yell fagot at my back and hit me with an arsenal that hurts more than real bulets.
Real bullets only pierce your body.
These pierce your soul.
The unfairness eats away at you and instead of making me less gay it makes me more determined to hide my feelings and hide who I am. It peels off my skin and replaces it with a mask, it makes me regret ever showing them my real self, underneath all the false identities.
To be yourself is the bravest thing you could ever do.
It's the most bold move and its the thing that will change how you do things.
When they scream faggot, you yell back gay and proud.
Why should they make you be ashamed for who you are??
This is the only you you will ever be, so why waste the amazingness of you on something as pointless as a mask?
