My heart

Dear,

My heart

You have marks showing what I've done

You've seen things

No one wants to see

But you keep on beating

You're battered and bruised

You have scars

Caused by pain

By fear

But you still keep going

Keeping me alive

Giving me hope

When all you want to do

Is go out

You shine

You glow

You brighten

I know

If my heart

Can keep going

Can keep loving

Keep caring

Keep helping

Keep thriving

So can I

So can you

No matter how hard

And how dark it gets

Think of your heart

Bruised and battered

But making the world

A better place

  • A Mix

    My face is a mix of my parents'

    I have my dad's eyes

    And hair

    I have my moms features

    And skin tone

    But it all pulled together

    To make my face

    My face with brown hair and eyes

    Pink lips

  • My Hair and My Eyes

    My hair is brown

    It doesn't have highlights

    Or a red tint

    It doesn't shine

    In the sun

    It's just brown

    It's not long

    Or layered

    There's no light brown

    Hidden in the dark brown

    Let me tell you story

    A story about a girl

    Who had the same longing for adventure

    As little Red Riding Hood

    And the same urge for freedom

    As Rapunzel

    Let me tell you a story

    About a girl
