I was today years old when I learned that I don’t have to make myself small.

I was today years old when I realized I don’t need to hide someone else’s mistakes.

I was today years old when I woke up to my own potential.

Why am I hiding?

Who am I hiding from?

If I know the way out, why stay and struggle?

I was today years old when I decided to walk through that tunnel.
