Honesty

I told you the truth, you didn’t believe me.

You wanted to believe something else.

You wanted to believe your opinions of me.

There is no end to this defeat, a defeat of the honesty that wants to be known.

For years and years you have taunted me.

Forever shadowing me, with your laughter and distaste in my level in life.

It is what it is, you are who you are and I am who I am.

We live in a world where we must learn to understand those around us so we can learn to love and accept them, yet why are we continuing to let them harm us, for they don’t want to accept us for who we are.

Maybe my hair is colored.

Maybe my skin is tattooed.

Maybe I cuss a little here and there or maybe I like to wear mismatched shoes.

Be who you are.

Live how you want to live.

Stop judging and criticizing others for not being the way you think they should be.

I can be loud.

I can be quiet.

Sometimes I don’t want to exist.

Sometimes I want to spread all the love and joy that I feel, once in a while.

This life is not easy, at times.

This life can make you feel crazy for not playing the role of a robot.

Express your damn self.

Be whoever the fuck you want to fucking be.

Goodness.

My gosh.

Can’t we just all choose to be free?

Hold me down, chain me up, let me get wrapped up by your criticisms and cover my mouth with all of your judgements.

Fuck that Bullshit.

Hold me down and keep me still, don’t let me dance or run free.

You don’t want to hear me.

You don’t want to see me.

You don’t want to know me.

I understand.

You choose to be locked away, like a tortured soldier that can’t be free.

You are me.

I am you.

Feel this power deep inside.

You have locked it up, like a candle with no flame.

Light that fire.

Free that bird from its locked up cage.

You are not without a voice.

You are not without a choice.

Get the fuck up and go be FREE.

Goodness gracious, why have you been so small, when you know you are so much bigger than you let yourself be.

Your life deserves more of you.

Your life deserves your truth.

What do you stand for?

What matters to you?

Honestly, you have been hiding away and it is time to show yourself to this world that needs the true YOU.

Get up and go live with HONESTY of your TRUTH and your INTENSITY.

You are loved.

You are worthwhile.

You are FREE.
