13 and Confident

She is assertive. When she does not want to do something, she lets you know. She honors herself. Her heart shows her the way. She listens to her inner voice. She is 13, and confident. She cannot be cajoled, swayed, or lured. She is her own person, following her path. Making choices that delight herself, and no one but. She is a dynamo. On a clear course. She has met no one who can fool her. I pray she never does.
