Making Myself Happy

I've always cared too much what others thought.  
Always seeing what others wouldn't have bought.  
Trying to mold myself into what they wanted me to be.  
Letting them cover my eyes, it was hard for me to see.  
 
I know now I can't rely on them for happiness.  
Having other people's influence is just a mess.  
I'm finally finding myself again.  
I'm finally being my own friend.  
 
Loving my physical appearance and personality.  
Doing new things and actually experimenting.  
Working on all of the things that I do not like.  
Doing things I did as a child, like riding a bike.  
 
I'm jumping on a trampoline and dancing around my room.  
I'm doing the things that I think that I gave up way too soon.  
I'm looking in the mirror and not grimacing.  
Wearing tighter clothes, no social distancing.  
 
I'm going to dance through the storm to get that rainbow.  
I'm going to transform into a happier person, enjoy the show.  
It's time to leave the past in the past, I'm moving forward.  
I don't know the end result, but I'm tired of being a coward.
