Who I am

I'm a poet, dreamer, fighter, runaway princess

In the body of a terrified girl growing into womanhood

And most of the time I hate it here

Trapped inside a glass box

I don't believe in good luck or a higher power

I try to tell myself,

Yet all I can do is scream.

-------

it takes strength to love,

people who have hurt you. 

------

i'm trying to love myself,

before I let someone else love me.
