I want to be upfront about it, because I didn't realise until too late, 

and I wish there had been someone there
who could see right through me
and correct what I was thinking, 
but the only people who could have were far, far away from me, 
so I had to make do with imaginary companions.



because I was that person for everyone else. 

I pretended to be who I thought they wanted, and in the doing, lost what they had liked about me.
And now that I have finally chosen who I want to be, I am changing again,
