I now know who I am!

Years of searching and learning

Over now, for I have burst through the dam

Finding myself, within myself

The facade of who I was, wasn't

The real me sitting on a shelf

Cowering, afraid to come down

Didn't want to speak my words of wisdom

Not smart enough, would look like a clown

Ironically, to protect others from laughing at my identity

Caused me not to laugh at all

Instead I cried for the lost me, covered in pity

I should have been happy, my life wasn't that bad

Crying but not understanding why

Everything about life just made me sad

Coming down from the shelf in all my glory

Nowadays I laugh and seldom cry

Why, you ask? I now know my story

I can tell you what I want, like, and feel

My own wisdom I can now reveal

Some like me, some don't, but thats okay

Be who you are and I will do the same

I am me! I am proud to say!
