This poem describes my hopes for my identity as well as where I am now.

I want to be amazing
I want to love so deeply
that even the birds don't know what to sing
I want to be crazy
but most of all, I want to be ok with being crazy
I want to look out into the world
and shout "Here I am!"
I want to lay my heart out
exposed for all to see
without a single part to hide
Because I want to be safe
and I want to know that I can wake up every single day
and stare at myself in the mirror and smile
I'm done hiding
I'm done shying away from every obstacle
