As as kid, I never felt obligated to the world.
I was always easygoing, and a vulnerable little girl.
I never had to question being good enough.
Or worried about having to be tough.
You say Rebellious
I say I am finally growing a pair
You say attitude
I say I’m finally standing up for myself
You have taught me to stand up for myself
Chapped lips
Pale face,
Little World
Big mistakes.
I may seem troubled from your point of view
But I have no regrets.
You can keep me locked in your chains,
But does that protect me or you?
Intelligent,
Confident,
Brave,
and
Beautiful,
four words that I thought never lived in my identity,
look behind those words and you'll see their opposites,
We,
like the forever wind, rage
like the gemstone sky, scare
like the diamond fire, sear
We are,
like a roaring train, a force
like her ocean eyes, electric
like the sun’s breath, gold
