Found a Home

Folder: 
Personal (Hope)

It’s a battle between being myself
or having people accept me.

I’ve always believed the two
are mutually exclusive.

But for once my smile doesn’t cause
people to lower their heads
pretending they didn’t hear
my small voice.

Now I don’t have to hide
behind this wall,
trying to disappear
because I think
that’s what they want.

I finally feel like I’ve found a home,
a place where I can be accepted
for who I am.
