BEHIND THE CURTAIN

Location

As I look in the mirror I see someone I don't recognize.

Hiding behind mascara, lipstick and eyeshadow on my eyes.

The person everyone saw was dying to fit in.

Little did they know the real me is hiding behind a curtain.

Shy ,timid, unsure and confused.

A girl that prefers sneakers , than high heeled shoes.

Someone who Is comfortable with some skinny jeans and a tee.

Was so confused in between who everyone else wanted and who she wants to be. 

I will soon step from behind my curtain. 

And stand center stage and bask in my glow and

become confident and proud in who I am. 

Im going to scream loud and soulfully , because here I AM!
