This Place

What was it that made me change? 

I'm not really sure

It happened so fast, 

one moment I was this shell of a person

I was scared, all the time

I was frozen

I couldn't move forward but the world was coming at me fast

I was living a life full of reactions

It was easy, so easy to be with you

you pulled me along for the ride. 

You told me what to do

and I did it.

it was easy.

but then one day

my life clicked into place

finally, 

I wasn't scared anymore

because I've come to realize that I am human

and people like me

and I am kind 

and I am brave

and within me there's this fire that's been waiting

to be let free into the world 

I'm ready

I'm finally ready to be whole and so completely me

and that's enough 

and that's good enough

and I am good enough 

to be free
