Hello from Elizabeth

Tags : None
  • Hi Everyone.  I was tring to figure out how to introduce myself.  This is something I wrote a back in February of this year during one of my high points on this roller coaster ride.  I think this is still true for the most part, except that slowly but surely I am moving to the point of really coming out to my family and beginning to live my life in a way that the outside world sees me for the girl I am on the inside.  When I hit the low points I come back to this and it helps put me back on course.

     

    I am Elizabeth
    I am a beautiful person
    Inside and outside
    Even if my outside looks like someone else
     
    I have just become aware
    Of whom I really am
    Who was always living inside of me
    Who I kept hidden from the world
     
    I love myself
    I love who I am
    I am a beautiful girl
    Just waiting to shine to the world
     
    I am just learning
    To express myself
    I am vulnerable
    I have to keep myself safe
     
    Part of me is old
    But part is very young
    My emotions swing back and forth
    So please be patient with me
     
    Change is constant
    Change is good
    I am already changing
    Even if I am not ready
     
    I can’t stay hidden anymore
    But I can’t sacrifice my other life
    I am not ready
    To hurt those I love
     
    If you can love me for what I am on the inside
    If you can keep me safe
    Then you can enter my world
    And be my friend
