This is Me

For to long
I hid who I am
Scared of what others
Would say.
Trying so hard to hide the real me.
It gets so tiring.

I am tired of wearing this mask
That society forced on me.

As I open my eyes
I have found the real me.
So here I go.

This is me
This is who I will always be.
I'm not your puppit.
I am cutting the strings.

This is who I am.
Spreading my wing
I will soar.

Get use to seeing the person
You see before you.

This Is Me

Very engaging, and very powerful. How often we want to cut the strings of society and allow our true selves to emerge from within the inner most parts of our souls. I am happy to see your allowing yourself to emerge, Nice work. Very grounded concept bro.

Thank yall. I am blessed to be able to see the world the way I do. It has taken me a long time to get where I am today. I am glad others can relate to my writing

Wow, I really understand this. As I get older I am learning to embrace who I am.

Sometimes I imagine a world where there is no such thing as society's mask because everyone accepts everyone else for who they are. I bet that would be a great world, and I would like to live in it.

Great write!

I love it. The essence of freedom that society had no right to try to force from you. Another good poem. Thanks for sharing!
