Who I Am

I am not someone else's opinion of me.
I am not the product of someone else's lack of self-control.
I am not defined by my ACT score.
I am no longer pretty.
I am so otherworldly it's vaguely offensive.
I am fearless of the future and love without boarders.
I am magical.
I am important.
And no one can do anything to stop me from being who I am now and who I will become.
