Madeline

I am me
everything more
everything less
I have struggled
I have been beaten till black and blue
by quite a few
I have a few scuff marks and scars
but I have a twinkle in my eye
a living dream of skyscrapers and taxis
I was broken
but know I deserve better.
I have enemies
I have friends
I am flawed, but not by a single letter.
I fight like a warrior
stronger than most.
I will never again be someone else's host or pawn or toy.
I am the player, and I built my own game. I don’t know if i’m the strongest
but I know Madeline is my name.
