Life was great and simple as a kid,

family and friends adored all that I did.

I never had a negative experience in school,

but some how I still felt like a fool.

I started to think ill of myself,

and didnt see within me pride or wealth.

My mom pushed me out of my box,

I did paegeants and learned new places to stuff socks.

Beauty shows,

and lots of woes.

I thought I would feel beaten,

instead I gained strength and didn't weaken.

I learned how to survive,

I now found in me purpose and drive.

I now have a much better outlook,

I can believe in myself and this is what it took.

A large splash of get out of my feelings and head,

to create a young woman with less dread.
