I didn’t ask to feel this way. I didn’t ask to only see grey. I didn’t ask to bear this weight. I didn’t ask to be in this state.

I'm a mixed girl given dreams. Given dreams that one day I will be a queen. Dreams that won't define me. Dreams that I saw as a guarantee.
My name is Selena Victoria Shannon and I am glad to be here. I am glad to be here. I am glad to be here. Now that’s a phrase I don’t usually hear.
