Further back in the many spaces

That fill the beautiful squares

Of information and memory

That hold the beautiful secrets

In my head, a symbol of my

thoughts, a symbol of my dreams

Slipping into this enchanting place

Of wonder and excitement and love

Everything much more intense

Everything much more beautiful

Everything much more complicated

Everything has its flaws

Nothing is certain

Nothing is forever

She steps into this

Unknown place

Scared but ready for change

Scared but ready to become

What she has always felt

Has always known

That she could become.

She has so much potential that

No one even saw, but

She's not going to think that way anymore---

She's going to explore, and live, and love

She's going to let her true self shine

Above all else, she must be true to that,

True to herself.

Brave and courageous,

Inspired by beauty, and love, and freedom.

She is me,

Anne Marie

is

she

is

me

is

you

is

them

is

us

is

every

thing:

the

star

dust

fell

from

the sky

one

day

and

it

believed

that

you were

special,

so you exist.

you are valuable,

you are loved,

you are

whoever you choose to be.
