Am I basic?
Am I trying too hard?
Am I fake?
Stereotypes are all around
Expectations are high
Criticism happens
I shouldn’t care
I shouldn’t be phony
I shouldn’t let them change me
I like basic and different things
I like being the best me
I don’t like being fake
Being happy should be okay
Being upset should be okay
Allowing all emotions
Terrifying
But doable
Someday
Someday everything will be okay
There will be no more doubt
Only courage
