To be or not to be...

To be successful and self-sustaining

To triumph and disregad past opressors,

To become the woman of my dreams,

not the "ideal" woman of others.

Not to be like the people the people that caused

my heartbreak and hardships.

Not to fall prey to words, but to evoke

profound and signifcant responses.

To be an individual

To be wanted

To be needed
