"ready"

I allow myself to exist,

to embrace,

to empower

but I still have my days of falling apart

of wishing that I could be like

Them;

two years spent in an attempt

to break down the glass wall we created between us

yet still I cannot fathom

my place in this world,

it doesn’t feel right

and the stars seem to tell me I am wrong

but with galaxies across my body

and black holes in my eyes

I am ready,

ready to be the girl I tried so hard to shield the world from,

the girl I hid so that

They

would be more comfortable.
