A covered mouth
carries closed eyes,
so no one sees
the knots inside.
Her suppressed views
lay to reside,
constantly judged
opt to just hide.
A silenced tongue
helps keep her safe,
afraid to fall
or make mistakes.
Anything said
may cause offense.
Wears a thick skin
to shield defense.
Watches each word,
cancels her views.
Trying so hard
to still be true.
Most will demand
her honesty,
but crave her thoughts
always agree.
So she decides
to be herself,
by breaking free
of her hard shell.
To socialize
still being her,
showing the world
truths she offers.
Reflective smiles
mirror her heart,
she is unique
a work of art.
Each step she takes
is filled with light.
Self-acceptance,
lets her shine bright.
