They tell me I need to change. They say I should be someone else, someone I am not.
That I should be less forgetful, less unpredictable, with more of a purpose and more of a plan. That I shouldn't spend time drawing, reading, or dreaming. I should stop thinking of things that have never been done. And though what they ask is true for perfection, it is too much for one person, just one little girl.
I like being this human that I have become.
The advice-giver, the ear-lender, the friend to all who need it.
A singer, a dancer, a speaker no matter how I look or sound.
The thought creator, the impossible dreamer, the unwritten story waiting to be heard.
I cannot leave myself behind to become someone else.
