Her face lit up with a glow
Sparkles in her eyes
The great news she'd ever know
Is that she would be changing lives.
She knew that this was going to change it all
From her pockets to her qualities
I am 18 years of age
I have been very vague in my past days
In school, I have been called many names
but I won't let it phase me in any way.
I am still here today
I don't care about what you got to say
Porcelain Doll hidden between
thorny leaves and puppet string
on forgotten dusty shelf
coerced beneath the
Looking Glass Self –
A torrent comprised
of inveigle words - acceptance.
If only you were here,
You would have been able to kiss me goodbye
Wish me luck and try your best not to cry
As I drove off to learn and live alone
Instead, I had to tell your tombstone
If only you were here,
I am...

I want to work for the world
For the children who were not given a fair chance
For they will be the ones to make the world a better place
Pain and suffering was taught to them early
Aging out to run away,
struggling, scrabbling, just to pay,
cannot leave but cannot stay.
We see it every single day.
Trying hard to stay on top,
sinking deep but just can't stop,
