Fifteen Years of Memories
She thinks, she writes
She steals fifteen years of memories that belong to someone else,
Someone worthy
She loves to capture moments and show them to the world
She she is queen and the spins around her
Bowing down to her
Aimlessly double tapping
Fifteen years of pretending, she wants to let go now
Pretending to hope, want, and feel
She wishes she were a simple creature,
Untouched and free
Free of the streetlights, cars and smoke
She would have her own memories
Uninfluenced by the outside world
Still spinning around her
Time is going by,
But she is not aroused
For she is in her own head still
When will she wake up?
When will she realize that success is not at the tip of someone else’s finger
But in hers?
Because she has her own thoughts
Influenced, but her own still
She wears her own skin and should wear it proud
She thinks many things about the world and writes it down
All fifteen years of memories that are not stolen,
But lived
That she is worthy of

I wrote this on my 15th birthday. I wrote this for anyone struggling with finding self love and appreciation. Everyone is worthy of the life they have led so far, and growing up can be a hard thing but ultimately it should be celebrated.
