(no subject)
I want to go far away from here
Start over
At a place where my past can't haunt me,
Where no one knows my secrets,
Where people don't know me for who I was
but for who I am
and who I'm trying to be.
I'm suffocated here
where no one really sees me
as I stand before them.
These pointless arguments
amount to nothing.
Everyone is blind.
No one carries the weight
of the words they give to me,
only I do.
You don't get to tell me who I can be
or what I can or can't do,
and you don't get to limit me to your expectations
and claim it's for my sake.
And yet,
the people I love the most,
the ones who love me,
love me in this way,
not really knowing me at all.
And in the end,
the road to be who I want to be,
to follow all these dreams
is one I have to take alone.
