i am the girl in my story.
the female lead.
the knight(ess) in shining armor.
i don't have time to wait
for a man to scoop me up and kiss me.
no.
i'm not for that life.
it'd be great
to have a man to kiss
but i'm not about that.
i've gone through hell
and i've been there twice.
fool me once shame on you?
fool me twice,
i'm still in hell.
you can try to teach me
all your morals
and what you think is
right or wrong,
but i refuse to listen.
i don't owe you anything.
i don't need to be smart
or pretty
or skinny.
you are you,
whoever you are,
but i am me,
the savior of myself
and the believer in myself.
