A young woman who is still a child
yet I’m learning to think and act on my own.
A learner, that follows what you teach
yet who experiments with life when alone.
A writer, who pens her works in secrecy
yet who yearns to let you read them.
I just wanted you to know who I am
A sister who fights tooth and nail with her siblings
yet would give her life to save theirs.
A daughter who secretly worships you
yet could never tell you to your face.
Daddy,
I just wanted you to know who I am.
Author notes
this is for my father... and all of it is true.... of course he would never see it.

This is a very good write. I like how you convey the sort of secret hidden side we all have in an individual world. Good job here.

This is so beautiful and I can relate to this completely
I am the same way, not letting some people read my stuff. I am glad someone chose this prompt. Thank you for entering and I wish you the best in the contest
