I am tall
I am mixed
I am smart
I am cool
I am friendly
I am strong
I am cool
I am amazing
I am confident
I am fun
I am me and that is all that matters

Letting go is never easy
At the same time it’s not hard
I try to remain positive
That everything’s going to be okay
And I know it is
I have amazing friends  
And amazing family
I want to let go of the past and continue on
With the future
I know at times the future looks bleak
But I know at the end of the day it’s bright

I look forward to a day,
A day when all are accepted and non are turned away,
A day when the look no longer counts,
A day where beauty is found within,
A day where worries will be no more,
A day of no more sadness,
A day of happiness,
A day to smile,
A day to laugh,
A day of joy,

I look forward to such a day when I can stop pretending who I am and be me
