So the Journey Begins

there once was a young girl
who wanted to be so many things-
when she grew up.
But the one thing she always wanted
to be and knew it at such an early age-
a writer and poet.
Many things she did well,
many things not so well,
but when it came to writing a poem
she won the prize,
the prize may have not been
1st, 2nd, or even 3rd,
but the only prize for her was the-
abilty to write and to express herself.
She has a heart of gold,
would do anything for anyone, even a stranger,
She always put herself last before others.
Until one day, many years later,
as the adult woman she grew up to be,
after many years of heartache and pain,
she finally decided to stand up
take a stand for herself,
since no one else will, she soon found out,
the hard way too.
