Ecouragment

by evinchiarello

All my life I was told to cover

Who I am

How I speak, act, look

I was told to cover my indviduality

I was told to follow a set of rules

Conform to the world's idea of me

But I shine through

Strip the layers of socail norms

I am Confideent

I am a Leader

I am Funny, Radiant, Strong

I am Me
