Break Free

If you are strong enough
What other people say
Can’t weaken you

If you know who you are

Other people being who they are
Won’t threaten you

If you know what you believe

How others believe and act on those beliefs
Doesn’t distract you

It’s a balance

Being open enough to people
To both let in their light
And keep out their dark

A balance

To live life with people
But not live their lives

I would imagine

Finding the right balance
Feels good

I would imagine

You get to a point
Where being who you are
Feels more normal, less scary

I would imagine it feels good
To break free

I’m just not there yet

Though I’m hoping someday
To be
