Stop apologising

you don’t have to say sorry

for how you laugh, how you dress,
how you make your hair, how you
do your makeup, how you speak.

you don’t have to say sorry
for being yourself

do it fearlessly

it’s time to accept, this is you
and you’ve got to spend the rest
of your life with you

so start loving your sarcasm,
your awkwardness, your weirdness,
your peculiar habits, your unique
sense of humour, your voice,
your talents, your everything

it will make your life
so much easier to
simply be yourself
