Poetry for people who could use a little kindness

Your Authentic Self

It’s so easy to hide
the best parts of yourself
because you’re convinced
that no one will understand

So you push down those parts
keep them locked away
and everyone accepts it
the lie that you’ve created

But that’s not who you are
It’s an invention, it’s fake
If they aren’t ready to accept the truth
That’s their problem, not yours

You’ll know the good people
Because they’ll accept the real you
Let the best parts of you shine
And be your authentic self
