Insecurities Revealed

For tonight I lie awake
When you can only dream
I've come to realize
Things are never as they seem
People will always surprise
with their actions and words
I tend to sit with wide eyes
Unable to lift my sword
Those that I call friends
Stood up in this moment
And though I didn't speak
Their arms, to me, they sent
I'll never question or change
I'm just who I always am
And people will have opinions
And speak what they don't understand
I struggle from day to day
learning and growing as I do
My life is nowhere near perfect
But tonight I see you know that too.
