What is this feeling?

This personality that I have been bottling up.

I feel like I can't be myself.

What will people say when they see me?

Not my outer shell, but the real me.

People are always so quick to judge others. 

You can't blame them, it's not their fault.

It's in their nature to judge.

Most people see a timid, reserved person.

But behind the curtains there is a rambunctious, talkative, goofy, free spirited person at bay.

Because of the fear of being judged, its hard to be myself.

I feel like I might explode if I don't let 'something' out.

I should just pull back the curtains, right?

I would but there's something holding me back.

The fear of being judged.

But who cares what people think.

I should show my true colors.

I am rambunctious, I am talkative and goofy.

I am a free spirit.

I want everyone to see the person that I've always been.

It's time I pull back the curtains.
