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.

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
