I carry the scars and the burdens of my past
The scars from giving my all to people who only stabbed me in the back
And words that stung like a whip to the skin
The burden of taking up space and not being what’s expected of me
It is I who has to change my perspective of what others view me as
and know I am not their words
I am not their assumed thoughts
I must keep in mind that
Not everyone is going to hurt me or dislike me
Not everyone is cruel as the people I’ve come across
