This is a story
Of a small child
So silent, so fragile
So afraid of the big people
This is a story
Of a happy child
Looking forward to school
Her friends and words and colors
This is a story
Of a sad child
Feeling outcasted
At the corner keeping quiet
This is a story
Of a growing teen
So hoping to grow outside of herself
But seems to just shrink in
This is a story
Of a junior high
Just beginning to realize
That there still so much more to life
This is a story
Of a girl now in college
Just beginning to enjoy
The new self she created
This is a story
Of the girl now turning twenty
Now finding out that no
No, she just can't escape
A story
Of a girl now stuck in between
Tomorrow and yesterday
Confuse on what exactly is scarier
This a story
Of me now twenty-three
Not quite there yet
Not quite ready
But this is my story
And I have a say
On where I will be
