Warning!

The girl writing this poem has been distorted by

mentall constructed ideas of what's right

and how to fix it.

she has forgotten over and over why she is here

and who she is

She forgets quite frequently how special and wonderful she is.

She forgets to praise herself more than she tears herself down.

This girl here is learning life the hard way.

She is never satisfied; she needs to be better.

This girl is not without joy-in fact, it is one of her

primary means of survival.

She is not without vision.

In fact, it is one of her primary means of hope, and of

motivation to keep going.

This girl is powerful beyond her own comprehension-

she knows that, and yet does not grasp it.

This little girl is God's daughter, and she often doesn't realize

that she is being held and guided by angels.

This girl is awful at forgiving herself-

it is one of her hardest lessons.

This girl wants so badly to never, ever do anything bad again.

this little piece of Divinity wants so badly to do the right thing.

Her heart is good, and her humanity frustrates her.

this one girl is scared, so scared it almost swallows her.

She cries, then and now, and is healed over and over.

She is inspired, overwhelmed, and rises and falls.

She is a tough warrior, although very few know it.

She loves life, and shows it.

Her life is different, and she is painfully aware.

But she knows that everyone's life is different, and so

she decides that she doesn't yet know,

why. 

But she knows there must be a reason, so onward she goes,

hoping dreaming, falling, and 

forever rising again.
