Amanda Leigh 4-20• Show poetry

so my name is Amanda Leigh Rodriquez
i am currently only 15 years old
and i live in California, United States
heres a little bit i have to tell you about me:


i'm different from anyone else you will ever meet;
i'm original, and i was born to stand out.
i was never meant to be anywhere near ordinary.
i believe i get some of my artistic side from my BPD(bipolar disorder).
i have already learned to accept from life what is given to me,
and to fight for anything and everything i believe in.
there is never an excuse for giving up, ever,
and to me, if you were to just give up on life altogether
would be like admitting defeat and accepting your failure.
i believe that anything and everything happens for a reason.
one thing that can never be taken away from you is your power to choose.
what i believe in that speaks to me the loudest would be fate.
i believe that one day my time will come and i will accept my fate.
death is one thing that has never scared me, nor ever will.
you will leave this earth when and how your fate shall choose
and you must just go with it and let it lead you where you need to go.
you're never alone in this world and i will always extend my hand to help a friend.
i'm a very brilliant young woman,
and i am extremely wise beyond my years.
judge me if you must or choose but i am who i am.

"love the life you live; and live the life you love." -Bob Marley

my little piece of advice to you is:
"never doubt yourself, your power, or your strength;
you can always make a difference in life
no matter how big or small it may be."
-Amanda L. Rodriquez
