Laugh, but (k)no(w) Love
As a kid when asked
What I wanted to be
I always said a witch.
I still look back on my little self
And Laugh.
It's still true,
Of course.
I Love magic
Though more from behind the scenes.
I always thought my life
Would be like one of those kid's movies
Ghibli or Disney.
I would find out I had some sort
Of magical quality
And meet others through it.
Always thought I would meet some guy
Save him with whatever the quality was.
But,
I've grown up.
I am still waiting for
The day
I realize my magic,
But
So much has changed
For I realize
I am magic.
I am the stars in the sky
I am the light in my own eyes
I am the galaxies I dream of
I am my own person.
I am who I am
I am in Love with myself
I am alone
I am in Love with that.
I do not need a man
Not a woman
Nor any individual
To make me Happy,
Because
I am
Erin.
