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.

    Scars

    People judge them...

    You try to hide them...

    But...

    They are just a reminder that you are strong...

    You can do anything you put your mind to...

    You might get hurt...but you will be okay...

  • Hidden

    Hidden in the shadows 

    Not sure where to go

    I get lost at every turn I take

    I look for the people I know but their faces are all blurry, I can't recognize anyone...

    Hidden in the shadows
