Girl Like You.

Who could I have become 

if they hadn't told me not to?

What could I have made manifest

if I had not forfeit my audacity?

Or learned to distrust the urgency of my own voice?

To what end could I have summoned my life

if I had not absorbed their doubts into my own?

If I had not surrendered to Less Than?

The long and grueling climbing a mountain of can't, don't, not meant for you...

Overcoming to reclaim the Self.

But who might I have been if it were always mine?
