Be Proud

Rewind to when i would change
just in the hope to fit in

Hiding my true identity
as though a dirty sin

Wandering through life
head always in a spin

No matter i tried
always felt i couldn't win

Until randomly one day
it just came to me

Stop wasting all my time
denying who i was born to be

Like a bright ray of light 
burning through a dark cloud 

Filling me up with self love
to accept just who i am and be proud
