All my life
I have always been afraid.
Afraid
Of being myself,
Of opening up,
Of letting people see
The real me.
On the outside
I'm quiet,
I'm shy,
I'm unconfident.
I smile….
I pretend everything's okay….
But I wait
And wish
And pray
And yearn
For the day to come
When I can finally break through
The chains that confine me.
Today
Is that day.

Today
I smile
Because I am truly
Okay.
Today
I laugh
Because I'm having
The time of my life.
Today
I am me.
Today
I don't have to pretend.
Today
I don't care
About anyone else.
This is me.
I'm loud,
And annoying.
I whine too much
And laugh too hard.
But it doesn't matter
Anymore.
My friends
Put up with it.
My friends don't care
How loud
Or annoying
Or whiney
Or crazy I get.
Yes, they annoy me.
Yes, they tease me.
Yes, they embarrass me.
Yes, they drive me absolute crazy
Sometimes.
But around them
I can be myself.
I can open up.
I can finally unlock those chains.
Around them
I'm me,
And for that,
I will forever
Be grateful.
Thank you.
Another poem for my English class.


This took me about 5 days to write. And most of that was spent trying to decide what I was going to write about. >.< Once I got an idea it only took me about 20 minutes to write. *shot* xD


But anyways. Apparently I can only write poems if they're about my friends.


So.


*Ahem*


Dedicated to all of my friends. Thanks <3
