Him

Hiding has forever easy for me. Hiding from others,reality, and most importantly myself. Lurking in the shadows of others that are above me. Avoiding anyone or anything that will bring attention to me. Not talking to people. Failing to look at anyone higher than there ankles. Hiding in my jungle of hair, whenever I fell eyes roaming me. Wearing baggy clothes because they make me feel smaller. Dreading not to be seen or heard by anyone. But being heard and seen is what got me here. He is what got me here. He showed me that being heard isn't terrible. Being heard is something powerful. Its demanding knowledge that you are someone and you should be respected. He taught me to let others see me because everyone deserves to be seen. Not only that but being seen is beautiful. It shows others the true you by not only by your words but your actions. He taught me those things and I will be forever greatful. His name was Trevor Jackson, and without him I would be here, I wouldn't be me.
