True Me.

Afraid to show my colors,

Afraid of what you might see.
Afraid of what I was,

and who you thought that I might be.
Afraid to show it all and afraid of what I hide,

Afraid to let you see a different kind of side.

But now that you see, I no longer am afraid,

No longer need this mask that I have often played.
No longer am I scared of the person that I be,

No longer am I afraid to show you the true me.
I feel secure and I feel safe,
I feel welcomed and loved.
I feel accepted for my flaws that others have shoved.

I thank you for who you are,
and for who you let me be.

and I truly thank you for loving the honest and true me.
