Favorite Quote:
When I was young/I used to think there was nothing under my skin but light/As I walk down the sidewalk of life/I scrape my knees/I bleed


I was not proud
I was not confident

When put to the test
My world shattered

Cowering in a corner
I licked my wounds like an animal

Then I grew stronger
I became faster

But I couldn’t admit
This to myself

Until my blindfold was replaced
With translucent material

And the mask of confidence
Was shoved on my face

I could look at the mirror
And see who I wanted to be

I could I admit
To the world

That I was strong
And I was beautiful

They believed me
And eventually I believed me too.
