Look at me now

Comforting words sound like stabbing knives,
Blue skies look like dark daylight
My feelings seem like a puddle under my feet,
Finding ways to let me down
Shit is getting difficult
Everyone looking for someone to insult
Trying to suppress me and stay hidden,
But I'm not one who stays blended
Feeling like I don't belong,
Missing every piece of home
Walking with a stiff spine,
I jumped off...
Letting myself fall,
Letting go of it all
Moving on...
This is me now,
I have escaped denial somehow
I have become my best self,
Opening a new chapter of my book
This time I'm the only illustrator,
And the only main character.
Look at me now
