Nobody knows me

I was naked, they clothed me

made me what I am

told me I was a man

it's okay if you're not brave

just don't be a slave

to others ideas

don't manifest their fears

you are free

you always were

accept your own beauty

for they tried to use me

but I said not anymore

I won't be your whore

I left at my own speed

because I needed to breathe

I needed to be

so follow my lead

or don't

you're strong on your own

we were born all alone

and will die all the same

they gave you a name

but that's not what I will call

I will see you as all

the love and the beauty

that's you and that's me

There are dreamers and realists, but who knows if it's better to see the beauty in death or live forever in dreams?......... IG: the_____universe
