you are quiet

you are odd

you are smart

You do not know me.

I am a one-of-a-kind girl

Dedicated to exploring the world

Bettering myself

Succeeding

Journeying

I am the light which creeps under your door

The urge you feel to dance when the music comes on

I am the strum of the guitar

The bar clenched in the gymnast’s two fists

I am the activist, the woman

I am the tourist in Spain

who buys a house and never comes back

I am the loved and the loving and maybe the not loved too

I am NOT who you want me to be

I am who I want myself to be

Quiet no more, let me show you me.
