Looking at herself in the mirror she told herself,
"Someday I am going to be somebody."
She knew deep down in her heart,
that she was destined for greater things.
When she reached out to her family,
they always talked behind her back.
They said, "Not her, she'll never amount to anything,
no one will ever stand by her side."
She grew to be a beautiful and talented woman.
She forgave and inspired them all with who she was.
