Mistakened

Those putting a foot forward,
To breakaway from portrayals...
Others may lay to say some betray.
May just not be attempts to impress.
Perhaps an identity one feels,
Is finally being addressed.
And mistakened are the ones,
Who believe an acceptance sought from them...
Is what someone who has discovered themselves,
Seeks!
And feelings explored may hurt,
When 'feelings' ignored go unnoticed.
