I Wont Play Pretend Any More Poem by Kellyn, A Grau

I’ve struggled for so long
Ignoring who I really am
Subsiding my emotions due to fear
And holding back out of fear of being rejected
But its time for me to look into the light
See past the lies and ignore what’s happened before
The past is just something you learn from
And comprehend about what’s happened
But dwelling on what’s hurt you
And remembering all that pain
Can ruin who you really are
Unless you push it all away
Remember what others did to you
Was just an act by them
Not everyone mistreats others
And there is always light with in the darkness
It’s true with in my heart lies wounds
Ones that are so deep not everyone can see
But if you take the time to let me
I’ll will open up and let you see
If you give me freedom, I will give you truth
And if you expect me to be me
You will get everything in return
Fear was something I lived on
But I don’t let fear run my life
I wont let pain tear me apart
And I wont let the tears drown me
So take my hand and pull me close
Ask me what matters the most
I will tell you honesty, and trust
As long as you accept me for me
I’ll never hold my self back
And let the fear subside, ignore all the mistakes
Learn from my past and take the hand of fate
So if you wish to know me
Please take the time to care
Because I cannot be someone I’m not
That’s just something I cannot bare
