What if I told you..
What if I told you that I know something about you?
That I know how you're screaming,
For the world to hear your name
That I have seen you rip off your skin
And stash it in the trash & call it therapy
What if I told you about the pieces of you
That you feed to the world in exchange of acceptance?
How you wait
For opinions & reviews to know
If the world likes people like you
How you give away your dreams because the world wants you to
What if I told you that
You are the first person
to wear that body
To live inside that skin
So nobody should tell you how to fit in it properly
That what fills your bones
Doesn't fill mine
And you are free to figure out what works for you
What if I told you that my opinions
Should not define what you should be
