I find it hard to be myself, as if I am living a lie.
Am I really living if I'm not who I really am?
Being honest and true leads to amazing things.
But if you have ever been hurt, just once,
It is a reflex to build walls to not live through the pain again.

Why is self love and saying how you feel so taboo?
I am constantly battling head and heart,
As the world battles skin and religion.
Am I selfish for wanting to focus on me?
Growth can only happen from within.

Feel your feelings.
Breathe the air.
Stop thinking.
Be still.
Exist.
Love.
Live.
