Young lady,
Hold your head up high.
If you haven't been thought how,
Teach yourself now.

You are beautiful. You are you.

Your purpose may not be known.
Your path may not be like hers.

But you are alive.

Grab that shovel.
Dig yourself the path you want.
Pave it with confidence and honesty.

And leave no dead bodies in your trail.
Only dead dreams that weren't yours.

-Gabriella Ross
