Hidden Offers, Reject Them
My past taught me to always be myself, no matter what.
Hiding just causes an inner cold.
I hid behind lies.
I hid because I was afraid of what people would say,
but I lost part of myself and felt stuck in a world I couldn't see.
Now I accept myself completely.
I love my mistakes because they make me who I am.
I never accept proposals that hide me in difficulty.
Hiding means living in darkness.
However, being yourself means living in the evening sun.
So I stand tall, head held high,
embracing my genuine self, with no cause to hide,
for I am a reflection of all that I've been through,
and my tale is a love letter to me, from me to you.
