My Worth

It’s the place I’ve come from

The person they raised me to be

The sole reason no one will support who I could become

I shine brighter than the stars in the sky

I know that now

And they will too when I finally say goodbye

I've grown into a world with no respect

No respect for the girl with huge dreams

Big dreams seem to make me a social reec

tI won’t become a firefighter or nurse or teacher

Won’t stay in this town

Being stuck her is my biggest fear

I won’t continue to wear this collar

Leash tied to a short pole

Not with what I could offer
