Stop Shying Away

Some shy away

From being different
I run towards it
Because to me
Being different
Is what makes
Life worth it
Exploring
Who you
Truly are
Over who
You are
Told to be
There is no
Greater sense
Of being free
Than someone
Telling you to
Be one thing
And finding
The strength
To rebel
And be who
You were
Born to be
Instead
Many can
Tell you
To be
Who they want
But at the end
Of the day
They are never
Prepared

For when
You find
Your own
Sense
Of self
And tell them

To shove it
So stop shying
Away from you
And start fighting
For you instead
Trust me
You will be
Glad you did
