My Own Person
I’m going in circles
Chasing someone I didn’t allow to exist
Yet.
...
I’m a perfect daughter,
A loving sister,
A selfless friend.
...
I’m someone’s something
Before being someone.
Anyone.
...
I wish I could have been selfish
Back when I was finding myself.
Maybe it’d be either today.
...
I need to find
Who I am
Besides someone else’s design.
...
I need to learn
That I have the right to yearn
For something that’d be only mine.
...
I need to become
My own person.
