I have felt like nothing
I have felt like nobody
A broken toy ignored while children play with what’s shiny and new
Picked last in teams at school
Once I made love to a piece of paper
Saw the beauty in phrases and words
Polished and rewrote until my pens bled
Like the Ugly Duckling
I became a swan because you love me
Learned to love myself
With my head held high
