Little Me
I’ve heard it said to strive to be a person your younger self
would be proud of
If little me saw me today she wouldn’t like what she sees
Someone who escaped the holds of religion
Someone who is openly lesbian
Someone who is confident in who they are
I was a version of myself so rooted in fear, and heartache I
couldn’t see a way out
I believed to be myself was inherently wrong, I was better
miserable than myself
I’m proud to be a disappointment to my younger self
