The little inside me
I use to think it wasn’t
In me to think it wasn’t
In me to express my
Feelings about things
That upset me or
Subjects that I had
Strong feelings
Toward. I learned
To speak up or you’ll
Never be seen or
Heard or be thought
Of as somebody
Who can stand on their own
2 Feet and overcome
All the things life can
Put on your plate.
I started to see
That if I never
Changed and stayed
The same. I would forever
Be seen as one who is afraid,
Weak never going accomplish
Anything mom and dad would
Always be there to save me from the
World’s pain and make everything okay.
Knowing deep down I needed to let the
Little girl out who’s always wanted to be freed
Instead of keep her locked away afraid to let
Express her thoughts because she was afraid
Of how others might see her as a person.
But now the girl inside me is free, happy,
Never afraid to say what she thinks.
If people get mad at the girl inside
Me they’ll get over it soon enough
And if they don’t it’s okay it’s
Not the end of the world.
Mainly I’ve learned it’s
Okay to be who I am.
