I have a dream to find who I truly am,

My eyes, my hair, my mouth, my skin, and my nose.

All the hate and mean thing people say just to drag me down,

All I do is sit there and take in the hate put on me.

I cry to my cousin and he acts like I was never there

The tears were streaming down my face like raindrops on a window

I have a dream to find who I truly am,

My eyes, my hair, my mouth, my skin, and my nose. 

I act like it never happened or affected me when I was truly hurting on the inside.

I didn’t want to tell anyone because I thought I would be hated even more.

All I hear in my head is “you’re not worth it”  “no one loves you.”

I shut my bedroom door so my family doesn’t have to hear me cry.

Anyone and everyone won’t always be there to hear what you have to say,

I never know who to tell my true feeling to.

I have a dream to find who I truly am, 

My eyes, my hair, my mouth, my skin, and my nose.

This is a part of me for the rest of my life and I need to deal with it.

Soon enough I stopped caring what other people thought of me,

I was confident again and felt happier than ever.

I acted like all the hateful and mean comments were compliments. 

I blocked out everyone and everything that got in my way from being myself again,

I started feeling like I didn’t need anyone,

And soon enough I realized I needed to help myself and not let others get in my way.
