Learning to stop performing for love that was never conditional

i sit and cry remembering all the times i have tried to start anew — to begin fresh — to be different
than i always am
so that others will see me, love me —
take me seriously —
not be this always awkward, quirky thing —
a thing… sometimes even
no thing.
but i’ve learned, painfully learned,
i can only be
me.
