Me

Here at my level, the air cannot harm me; for I feel a presence of security
A blanket unlike no other
As it touches my skin and drifts into my pores 
I realized that I was the one to blame for the hurt that was filling all of my voids
A child with no advice, an adult with no wisdom, and now a woman with hope. 

As I searched under the moon for promises that my secrets left behind
I noticed that a change was due 
I now refuse to go through the hurt that my tears didn't subside
I was a failure with only dreams, a berry with a bitter taste, and a mockery to all my kind
But now I am a woman, a woman with a new foundation 
A woman that only the strongest can survive with
I am an all that type of girl 
I am "ME"!
