Twenty-one

 

However harsh I can be to myself

There are still these few perfectly glorious moments

Where I really feel myself

Where I turn the light on and look inwards

Where I am proud of what I have accomplished

Where I take a good look at my inner child and have a chat with her

Where I tell her how proud I am of her

I look into her pretty blue eyes and I thank her

For making it through all that she has been through

For all of her hard work

For shining a light on people around her

For genuinely caring about others

For marching on when it felt like she was marching alone

She is a badass little rebel

Who wants the best for everyone in the entire world

I aspire to never give up on her values
