This is Me...

Always been the kind of girl
That hid my face
So afraid to tell the world
What I've got to say

But I have this dream
Right inside of me
I'm gonna let it show
It's time to let you know
To let you know

This is real, this is me
I'm exactly where I'm supposed to be now
Gonna let the light shine on me

Now I've found who I am
There's no way to hold it in
No more hiding who I wanna be
This is me

Do you know what it's like
To feel so in the dark?
To dream about a life
Where you're the shining star

Even though it seems
Like it's too far away
I have to believe in myself
It's the only way

This is real, this is me
I'm exactly where I'm supposed to be now
Gonna let the light shine on me

Now I've found who I am
There's no way to hold it in
No more hiding who I wanna be
This is me

You're the voice I hear inside my head
The reason that I'm singing
I need to find you, I gotta find you

You're the missing piece I need
The song inside of me
I need to find you, I gotta find you

This is real, this is me
I'm exactly where I'm supposed to be now
Gonna let the light shine on me

There's no way to hold it in
No more hiding who I wanna be
This is me, this is me

Now I've found who I am
There's no way to hold it in
No more hiding who I wanna be
This is me

getting there...

im getting there.
closer to telling.
well...closer to telling my family.
ive told a few more people recently.
and it feels good to be able to talk about it.
i wish i could talk about it more often.
like its not a big deal.
i want to tell people things.
have them share in my small victories.
be able to joke about things.
i hate hiding it.
i wish i were able to be myself.
i have ready so many stories lately.
and i have a circle of support.
but i want more.
i want to tell my close friends, but im scared i will lose them.
i want to tell my family.
im just not strong enough yet.
