For years

I've hid who I am

To the world

In hopes of

"Fixing myself".


For years

I've repressed my feelings

Shoving them back

Into the dark recesses

That is my mind.


For years

I've stood by just watching

As the truth lurks

In the shadows

Staring me down.


For years

I've told myself

All I was doing was

Fishing for attention

Instead of being honest.


For years

I've hated who I was

Who I am

But I'm not hiding

Any longer.


For years

I've only lied.
