Not the second option

There is no option before I.

The option after I is me.

And everything that is apart of me.

Secondary isn't you.

Don't let a man or a woman tell you, you're number two.

Believe in you more than they could ever do.

Force the world to see that you are incredible. Your skin is impeccable

Your curls are untouchable

Your smile is contagious

Your soul is unbreakable

Your essence is ageless

You are tameless

When you begin to make your mark on the world, you will see that your imprint will never leave.

Be beautiful,

And watch the world grow fond of you.
