Invisible

I've got to chase my dreams
It's not a mid-life crisis
I'm not going to "outgrow" or "get past" it
It's not a phase
This is who I am
Like a snake sheds it's skin
This one grows uncomfortable
Too tight
No way to move forward
Without making a mess
And life is messy
That won't stop me
I need to be who I am
You may never understand
And that's OK
I still won't stop
Ever
I can't stop speaking
I won't be invisible
I am
Inconvenient
Improper
Irreverent
Alive
