Always nice reading a self-affirmation piece - This speaks of an undying strength even through the most brutal of turmoil!
Hey TANAX - I got to one stanza in particular, as I can definitely relate to the words that you've written:
But I'm trying to catch up, to adjust, to fit in.
Of course I'll be myself, but I'll try to hide it as best as I can.. within.
First thought that came immediately to mind: "NO! No - don't ever try to hide it!"
Releasing tension has never been a bad thing LOL... Anyway - I kinda just wanted to say AW and give you a hug, as this piece just screams LOVE ME - I'm a person too.
AND as far as not being cute and stuff (had a very knowing laugh with the wax line

) You have shared some very beautiful words with the Community - And I for one am glad you have!
Thanx!
Jacquii.
