I Am Proud Of Me

I come from true stories of pain from

A past that would have been enough

to break even the toughest of people.

I come from being kicked about, like

a ragdoll; used and abused, thrown,

like a torn rag.

Today;

Yes, today,

I stand tall after everything I have been through,

Now a proud author and a soon-to be-singer,

Who burst through the walls where tears flowed,

That nobody could see,

Into a world full of dreams and creativity;

A world where I had always wanted to be.

From no one to someone;

A person who dances with full strength, integrity,

Individuality, and her own personality.

I am proud of me.
