Being honest with myself in order to move forward

I have been afraid to express love I feel for others.
I have been afraid to express myself, my voice, my wants, my needs.
I have neglected to be myself, to be true in my expression.
I have been living a lie.
I forgot my identity.

I got lost in a fog feeling bogged down. I thought my job was to to be something for someone else, for the world, for a man. I had no idea it was me that I needed to live for...and I am not talking about money or my own gain, I am talking me being in control of my life, responsible for my own emotions and happiness, expressing my own best potential, and living to the beat of my own heart's timing and desire. Wow, to be a real person with no one to tell me what to do. I am free.
