I am

Just being me

And I’m happy that I am not like others, and I can see the beauty in me.

So if you see me and you want to judge me, then I am okay with that, for I know who I am.

And all you know is what you see on the surface.

But baby, I am made of so many layers and levels that what you see is not the whole me.

And trust me, if you get to know me, you will know there are so many sides of me that you may have a hard time keeping up with them.

But at the end of the day, you can come for me and want the best for me.

But know you can’t live for me, and I accept your support but don’t try to make me feel lazy or not putting in the effort, for you will never indeed be inside me to know how I am supposed to be.

So respect where I am and know that where I am meant to be will come in its own time, for age is nothing but a number, and if I’m going to have it, it will happen.

I’m not over her sad; I am over here living my fucking best life! So please respect my life as it is not being wasted!
