I was hiding out in the shadows, afraid to show the real me. Nobody noticed, and I didn't know who i should be. But then, I walked out of the darkness, and into the light. Realized it wasn't so bad, and something I shouldn't have to fight. I now am not in the shadows, and never want to go back again. I now know that I should be the real me, and not who I was then.


The author's comments:
I am bullied a lot, and I spend a ton of time trying to hide myself in the shadows so that nobody will notice me, because I don't want to be bullied. But I realize that I should be the real me and not someone I am not.

Yeah, i was going to make it longer, but i couldn't come up with anything else! And this was my first submission, and my first day on my first account, so i was a little confused! I would have added onto it! :)

I really like the feeling and reason behind it; just wish it was longer!
