Stand UP For Yourself

Years.
Spent in silence.

Hidden in the shadows,
Behind the rest of the world.
Hiding away feelings,
Waiting for that moment.

But I'm tired!
And I'm ready to stop.

No more sitting quietly.
Done with these pointless apologies.
Finished hiding behind this wall I've built.

It's time to fight for something!

To speak my mind.

I'm going to show the world just how I feel.
I've made mistakes but I embrace them.
I've learned.

It's time to live life,
To enjoy the days.

I'm breaking away from this cold heart I've created.

Ready to stand up and be me.
