In shadows cast by youthful fears,
A tale of lessons learned through tears,
I'd whisper truths to younger me,
A poem woven, wise decree.
"Don't shroud your pain in masks of pride,
For veils of faux esteem can hide,
The ones who hold your heart so dear,
Drifting far when closeness veers.
......
Do you ever feel scared
to reveal all sides of you
in fear of everyone turning against you
not for something bad
no record do you have
but for just being you?
For you're supposed to stand tall
not crumble and fall
be the encourager
