I am determined
It will not cross my mind.
I will not be controlled
By a sliver of metal.

I am beautiful.
I am incredible.
I am worth endless amounts of love.
I will smile.

I am human.
I am strong.
I am not made of wood.
I do belong.

I am here for a purpose.
I know where I'm headed.
I will be a success.
Today I'll begin living.

I invite you to join me.
Together we'll find joy.
It's been such a long while
Since I've seen you smile.
