The Girl Inside of Me
No matter where I go,
I don’t feel like I belong.
No matter what I do,
I always feel like I’m wrong.I need to find a place
Where I can finally feel free.
To unlock the rusted gates
For the girl inside of me.I want to express my feelings,
To speak without disguise,
To share my hidden truths
Without fear behind my eyes.I crave a kind of company
That’s warm and thats embracing.
But I’m surrounded by fake smiles,
And conforming leaves my soul aching.The girl inside of me craves to be seen,
To break through this shadowed veil.
She’s tired of living in between,
Of being a ghost in her own tale.She dreams of a world where she can bloom,
Where her voice isn’t drowned by doubt.
A place where her soul has enough room
To stretch its wings and shout.But the world feels heavy, cold, and gray,
And the path ahead seems unclear.
Yet I know she’s there, waiting to say,
“I’m ready, I’m finally here!”So I’ll keep searching, through the pain,
For a space where I can be me.
I’ll fight to silence the disdain
And set the girl inside of me free.Voting is open!

Sydney, this is such a moving poem. Everyone deserves to live their lives on their terms and without concern for the beliefs of others. While I do not understand how you feel, I can certainly empathize with you. I hope you are soon able to set the girl inside you free and live the life you want. Thank you for sharing your experience!
