When we were young

When we were young, we didn't care how we looked, we didn't care how we dressed or what we liked. 

When we were young, we loved playing tag or hide-in-seek 

But ... 

Now ... 

We care too much about what people think, we care about how we look, we care how we dress, and we always lie and say that we like the same things ... 

We try to cover it up, our feelings, the way we look, and even our opinions ... 

I wish I could go back in time. When I didn't care at all. When I had so much confidence in myself ... 

But over time ... 

I have learned from my mistakes, and I know I'm not perfect... and that's okay.

  • Family

    I was born into a big family.

    I have a lot of cousins, aunts, and uncles

    We all live close to each other, same state, same town.

    But

    What is family?

  • Different

    They call me different because of the way I look, act, learn

    But they say it like it's a bad thing

    I am different. I am. But I am not embarrassed by it, I am not ashamed.
