Words are powerful; they linger long beyond years of when they were first said. And so I create my own words that will overpower the words of thorns, with my roses of poetry. I am not skinny. I'm not fragile. I am petite and more than capable. Like the legs that carry a majestic horse, I am powerful. I'm healthy. My metabolism is just fast like the speed of light. I'm natural, bright and beautiful both inside and out. Just like a butterfly and horse are both beautiful. Ballet may be off the table, but I beat the odds of not ever being able to walk, from severe club foot in both feet. I may stumble from time to time, but I am always stable in the saddle.
