I am the girl who dreams of changing lives,

The girl who strives to live and not just exist.

I am the voiceless girl fighting to be free,

The girl who’ll one day speak and be heard.

I am the girl with wounds nobody can see,

The girl who’s healing, and silently believing.

I am the girl who believes in happy ever afters,

The girl determined to bury each day with loud, happy laughter.

I am the girl who knows life isn’t perfect,

The girl who embraces both the lows and the highs.

I am the teen girl constantly growing and learning,

The young lady aiming not for the stars, but for the whole sky.

The girl who believes in God, in the beauty of the sky and in the power of love.
