I am from pieces and pieces,

four to two thousand, one at a time.

From melodies waltzing through the air.

I am from shadows dwindling into light,

inch by inch, crawling out of hiding.

A shy girl with no confidence, who is afraid of the world.

I am from color by color,

untouched to mixed, in a minutes time.

From soft shades to bold and vibrant, ready to leap off the canvas.

I am from people pleasing and changing who I am...

wanting to make others happy, sacrificing my sanity in the process.

From nights of crying myself to sleep, hoping things would change.

I am from tears of pain and hope,

scar by scar, falling apart on the inside.

Afraid of being hurt to postive self-esteem like a sky scaper.

I am from a head held high and rising from the ashes,

second by second, speaking my mind for once.

From no longer caring about what others have to say.

I am from silence...insignificant thoughts...

blocking out the world... one voice at a time.

From a little girl who will prove you wrong about her.

I am from the voices that taunt my mind,

whispering in my ears, you’ll never be like them.

From listening to ignoring the devil inside my heart.

I am from abandonment and searching for love...

hoping that just maybe, I’ll be the one in a million.

From wishing on a star to escaping fantasyland.

I am no longer that scared, sensitive girl,

breaking out of the past, not letting it haunt her.

Now, taking the world by storm, planting my flag at the top of the world.
