What I Love

March 18, 2024

For so long
I fell into step
Like a soldier
Marching to a drum

Desperate for acceptance
I chased my warped idea
Of “belonging”
Twisting and changing
Caring so much about
what everyone else wanted
But what
about
me?

I want to paint my nails
to wear a skirt and soft sweater
I want to stare up at the sky
and daydream about magic

I care what you want
But I can't force you to accept me
Instead
I'll do what I love
Because in the end
I love ME
