freedom at last

The people who allow me to love them,

they let me say the cruelest words

without fear of judgement.

The sarcastic, witty remarks.

The casual name-calling.

The push or shove after a crude joke my way.

They let me be the version of me that isn't always pleasing

isn't always perfect

isn't always nice

They allow me to take the space I need and truly deserve

which shows them how truly free i feel with them
