one day
i will show you
that i am more than anything you have ever labeled me
and that i do not need your validation.

i need no one's validation.

i will set foot in this world
and i will rule my life.
i will have control of everything about me
that you have lost.

i will have my own final say.
i will find myself.
i will grow.

and it will be the most beautiful thing
that i have ever done.
