My Poem to Me, by Charissa

I just want to be happy and free

Let go of the hurt and get to know and love me

Shine so bright and not be afraid of my light

Outshine my fears and wipe away my tears

Grow up to be the girl I always wanted to be

Shine so bright in my happiness and love for me

I just want to be happy and free and in love with me

Somewhere shining on the beach and loving the sea

Grateful I turned out to be all I can be

Focus on love and empowering me

Not afraid to share my shine

I worked so hard to love myself and be divine

I lived my pain, felt the shame, and was haunted by my fears

Now I am fearless and capable to be all I desire to be

I am happy, loved and free
