Who are you to tell me that I am anything short of beautiful?
Who are you to tell me that my heart is not purely gold?
To judge me is not a privilege given to you.
For I am who I believe myself to be.


The author's comments:
When I was a very little, I went back and forth from being a princess, to a doctor, to a wizard, and so on. As I grow older, I've gone back and forth from a showoff, a loser, a nobody.
I've written this poem mainly to assure myself, and the reader that the opinions formed by others aren't what count the most. The one's that count are the one's that you form yourself.
