All these emotions and all this pain

Which I hid deep down on my heart

Has spilled out in front of my family and loved ones,

And I don’t know how to make it stop.


A strong, independent girl

An identity I crafted for myself,

Is now destroyed in a second,

And it feels like something that can never be fixed.

 

Yet, why am I so calm?  

My secret is now known to everyone.

Why am I relaxed?

I won't be seen the same way as earlier.

 

Why aren't I frightened anymore?

I feel like a bird set free.

Was I wrong about everything?

Or did I just make things worse in my own mind?

 

With all the weight lifted through my chest,

Now I can see clearly with my head.

No longer bound by chains of fear,

I step forward, embracing beauty of my own existence.
