I am the only who can define me


I am the 2 year-old singer

I am the 4 year-old who loved everything with an uncontrolled fever

I am the 7 year-old with scrapped up knees

I am the 9 year-old who was unconfortable in her own skin

I am the 11 year-old who only wanted to fit in

I am the 13 year-old who found self-hatred

I am the 14 year-old in mourning of her childhood

I am the 15 year-old who found her closure in a blade

I am the 15 year-old who daydreamed about death

I am the 15 year-old who seeked help

I am the 16 year-old who found love within herself

I am the 16 year-old who realised she was important

I am my past. I am my present. I am my future.

I am NOT what they say.
