A poem about the struggles of a teenage girl finding who she really is
A girl who sought love
Compassion and attention
A girl who craved strength
Admiration and perfection
A girl too shy, too weak
To admit these desires
A girl too sensitive
To withstand the fire
Built by the ones
With the fame and the power
Built by the ones
Who everyday would devour
Her courage, her strength
Her own peace of mind
Her power and her wit
Destroying this girl so kind
"It's all my fault"
She would tell herself
She didn't think she was worth
Her own self-wealth
She was beaten and bruised
Her face wet with tears
And the pain just grew worse
Over the growing years
But deep in her heart
She knew she was good
She knew she was pure
And she'd prove it, she would
She rose from the ashes
From the dying flame
And rose above those
With the power and fame
The bruises healed
And the tears slowly dried
No scars remained
For her spirit couldn't die
And though she thought
Her integrity had been stolen
She came to realize
She was never truly broken
She found her strength
Her courage and the power
To stand above
The ones who devoured
Her self-esteem, her wit
Her kindness and strife
She finally learned
How to live her life
