I amnot my failuresbut the


I am

not my failures

but the repeated attempts

that it took

to get there

 

I am

not my depression

but the years spent on self improvement

that it took

to try and better myself

 

I am

not the quiet girl in the back of the class

but the girl with powerful thoughts and ideas

that it takes

to change society
