Chains that don't come off

See I'm just regular girl, well a girl who makes herself believe those words.
Deep down inside, I'm a girl who loves to empower others and loves to bring smiles among the faces of strangers.
I really do know who I am, but I'm fighting to be her. It's like I'm crushing under the weight.
The weight and fear of not being accepted because of my past. I was always told to be nothing, I was always told to hide behind the curtains.
The curtains is just something that helps me from showing the world the true me, the women who wants to not just change the world, but to also leave a legacy and to spread the word of community service and peace.
The curtains is just a simple symbol of me being scared of the women who trying to come out of me.
She tells me every night she's ready, but is she? The world is a very cruel space and I don't won't here to be ready, but she might be.
Now that I have realized that this weight I feel is something that manifested in my mind not to grow, and now it's her turn to rule and conquer.
She's ready and I'm becoming the women I always wanted to become, so I say to those chains; unleash me!
