I Want to

Be seen

But I know first I have to believe in myself so that nothing can tear me down.

When all the eyes are on me, and there will be no time for hiding.

And I hope those who want to hear me will hear me and be touched by my words.

For I once didn’t care if you heard me or saw me for me because I wanted to be invisible and blend into this world.

But now I know I’m meant to be seen, and I am worthy of the eyes on me.

For my present and my future, all I’m focused on for my past hurts, and pains are healed up or on their way to being closed wounds.

That no longer hurts me, but they remind me how far I have come.
