Who am I?

June 26, 2019

I am a girl who loves to smile.

I have a great family who loves me.

I fear judgement from the noises I feel.

I am a girl who loves to smile.

I cry when I get hurt.

I pray problems would disappear.

I am a girl who loves to smile.

I pretend not to care what they say.

I try to ignore the pain.

I am a girl who loves to smile.

I am grateful for who I am.
