Confessions of an ex-Wallflower

Why am I invisible?
Why I am I always on the outside looking in?
Why don’t I speak when I have so much to share?
Why?

I was a wallflower once and these thoughts were constantly in my head. I was afraid of what others might think of me, how they might not accept me. But I got so fed up with being left out, that I started thinking, ‘So what if they don’t accept me. That’s their loss. I’m cool in my own unique way and I’m sick of being afraid of “what might be”.’....

It’s been two years since I left the wall. I now have some of the best friends in the world. And all of us are “different”.
What’s so wrong with being different?
Why don’t I fit in?
It’s quite simple,
I really don’t want to…

You now how some people say once you’re something, you’re always that thing? Well those people are wrong. Why?
Because I am no longer a wallflower.
Why?
Because I know what it’s like to be “chained” to a wall by your fears…

I also know what it’s like…to be FREE .
