Underneath your skin

One day you wake up,
And you realize that you are no longer the same anymore,
You have embraced more of yourself – you have grown.
-Actually as you should.
You realize that Yes, you are a little messed up but happier at the same time.
You realize that you give no room for anyone – anything to place you on a pedestal.
That the things that hurt you, don’t hurt you anymore.

You get disappointed yes but not surprised.
You have expectations yes but not from anyone – anymore,
Not because you are now immune,
But because – you’ve made a choice,
A choice to have peace within you IRREGARDLESS.

And in all that you realize that your eyes have actually opened – to seeing clearly.
Less afraid to be blind too.
Less afraid to disappoint on things that are unhealthy.
But you can’t let your guard down anyhow anymore.
And you like things on the inside of your insides.

And even though that’s not what people expect you to be,
It’s what you feel better in.
Underneath your skin.
