Shades

I used to wear them all the time.

I’d wear them so I could cover my eyes.

At least, that’s what I thought for the longest time.

As years have gone by, I have realized,

Deep down, I was insecure on the inside.

I felt that I needed to wear sunglasses

Because I thought it would somehow boost my confidence.

In reality, that was not the case.

I was not being honest.

The reality was, I was too scared to let people get to know the real me.

When I put on the shades, I felt like I was a more confident me.

I felt I could do anything.

Without my shades, I felt afraid.

I felt as though people would judge me for being me.

But now, I don’t need them.

I don’t need a piece of apparel

Or some sort of fashionable eyewear,

To make be a confident individual.

That has to come from within.

I still like wearing shades from time to time,

But now, I am happy with who I am on the inside.
