I want to tell you something,   it's a story, a few words about how I got where I am today.   It started with a touch, from myself, The real me; someone I don’t know anymore. it hit me in the chest and it travelled though my veins And it's become one of my nick names . Sometimes I lay down at night and laugh at how much I hated myself . I wanted to charge this and that, And I changed all of myself and more to come. I can tell you that I broke my own heart more times than anyone has and that anyone will. But then I meet this boy  and he changed my life. He once told something along the lines of "you have to fight to love yourself; it'll be hard but I'm sure you will" So here I am fighting. I might fall and tremble but I swear I’m trying to stop hating myself. I'm trying to let go. The day I do, I will scream at the top of my lungs, Because I'm not a forest fire but I'm the forest itself. And so are you.

A Forest Fire
