I've been living in darkness,
Shadows all around
Frozen tears stabbing my heart
A mind that wants to scream.
My skin is dry and peeling away.
I am born as dust
And to dust, I shall return.
Sun seeps through the cracks
Awakening something anew
I can smile
and not have a double meaning.
I can laugh
and not force it.
I know when I am right
when I am wrong
and when to keep quiet.
I am made anew
I am not my mistakes
my drama
my sadness.
I am me
Although shaking and quivering
with fear.
I am me
Screaming at nothingness
Just wanting to feel something
magical.
I am me.
I am
my lies,
my doubts,
my fears,
my joys,
my confidence,
my happiness.
I am me,
One hundred percent
Myself.
