Day 184

I wish someone told me it was OK
to be less than
to be more than
to be the same as
everyone else
When I was young.

I wish someone told me it was OK
to have braces
to have frizzy hair
to be shy
like I had
When I was young.

I wish someone told me I'd be OK
with my insecurities
with my quirkiness
with my fears
like I am today
When I was young.
