Where Do You Go?
How long have you been there
Living all your life and never thinking
That it is okay to be yourself around people\
That it is okay to laugh and smile
How long did it take you to realize
That where you feel safe is no longer
Living peaceful and secure
It is not okay to laugh or smile
Where do you go to be yourself
If not in your own home
That it is okay to be yourself with no
Judgment against your beliefs

It is okay
to be yourself
inside your poem
only those reading
are let in.
