Difficult Time

I was once like you,
Afraid to speak of things that could hurt others,
But needed to be said,
Unable to break free and be the person I should be
Despite the hurt I cause,
And here I am a better me and here to tell you
You must do the same,
There will be tears and tantrums,
There will be screams and shouts,
But once their gone you can speak your truth,
And tell the person that you need to be you,
Not a part of their world the way they want you to,
Freedom starts with a single step into the light,
And prison starts with a single wrong doing and escalates from
there
Be true to you and you will always win
