What Makes Me... Tori.


From a young age,

I've always tried to turn the page.

To move onto the next chapter.

But it always seems like after,

I'm right back where I was.

 

People leaving me left and right.

Some not having a choice,

some willing not to fight.

...For me.

 

But who I am now,

is who I choose to be.

It is by Him I live,

is is by Him I am forgiven.

 

All those hurtful words she said,

"go in one ear and out the other," like I've read.

I will go places and become great.

I will succeed in what I do, because that is my fate.
