I am Emma


I am not my failures.

I am no my mistakes.

I am not my short-comings

or bad choics I make.

 

I am human and changing,

and I'm trying my best.

I am a smile, and hope,

and deep love in my chest.

 

I am stronger at heart

than the trials I've faced.

My fear will not stop me,

Instead love, I embrace.

 

My religion has shaped me,

I carry God in my heart.

My God knows who I am,

and with confidence, I start.

 

My soul is a story

and it needs to be told.

My life as an artist

has begun to unfold.

 

I may appear quiet,

but my truth I must speak.

Who am I? I'm Emma,

and I am unique.
