Leave Your Opinions at the Coat Check

Leave your opinions at the coat check.

I don’t need your beliefs

Your opinions

Your wants and needs

To cloud mine.

Mine are learning how to move their limbs in new ways and take shots.

Mine are in the corner sobbing while some others are dancing together under the strobe lights.

Mine are learning

Growing

Failing

Trying

Developing

Strengthening

Do not stop me.

Do not get in my way.

Leave yourself at the coat check so I can take care of myself.
