perfectly me

I've learned how to let go
to be me.
i have learned so much in so little time.
i have spread my wings and learned to fly.
i left the detrimental life i was forced to live in.
i paved the way for myself.
i opened my eyes and saw what was there all along.
every wish i had ever made
every dream
all of it was always right in front of me.
i denied the truth
i was scared and blinded by fear.
fear of being outcast
fear of being unloved
fear of being unwanted
i was scared to be myself.
but ive broken the chains and i will never go back
i found the person who completes me
the one who makes my heart stop in love
while id always imagined it would be a boy
i was wrong
i have fallen madly in love with a woman
and she is everything ive ever wanted
ive accepted myself and what i couldnt have done before
i found myself and i learned who i truly am
while others may not approve
and may look down upon me
i will never again hide who i truly am
i am perfectly me and i am
perfectly a lesbian
