Fiery, never a follower 

Fiery, never a follower

-Always LEAD with your

WHOLE HEART

-Anything worth doing

Is worth being the BEST

Don’t look down on all

4’11’’ of me because I

Am a BIG person

In a little body with a

BIG HEART

I’m not a place but,

A person with a Destination

That exists outside the walls

And confines of this tiny town.

I am my mother’s daughter,

Unfortunately.

I am not my mother’s keeper,

Unless she can’t keep herself,

Which happens sometimes.

I am not in the shape of a bottle,

But she has to hold me anyway.

I am me on the floor, in the air, and

In my room. Alone.

Passionate, intelligent, hungry for

Knowledge. That is who I am.
