All my life, I've sworn I would never marry or have children.
In a way, I felt it would make me seem stronger.
Buy it was a sign of weakness, and fear.
Because I knew who I was, what I was made for.
I was denying it.
Because I am here to love.
My hands were made for writing and gardening.
My mind craves to study history and languages.
My soul, meant to be with another for eternity.
And my heart, destined to be a mother.
I will not be great or successful, I will be me.
I will heal and nurture and remember.
I will love.
