I am from my own person

I do not belong to anyone

I am from Broadway

To the silver-screen

I am only who I can be

Not what others want me to be.

I am from the tears

I am from the laughs

I am for the win

I am going to make it through life

One way or another

No matter what they say

I am from singing

To piano playing

To ballet dancing

To smiling and acting

I am from the show business

They're gonna remember my name

I am from the pain

From the emotional and physical pain

I am a mask that you're afraid to take off

I am not what I seem

I find happiness in the darkest things

I am everyone's nightmare

I am from pouring my heart out

To being a distant stranger

I am from talking with the love of my life openly

To being completely secluded with him

I am from being stressed and anxious

To being cool and relaxed

I am keeping my enemies close to me

I am keeping my loved ones close to me

I am still living on this Godforsaken Earth

I am a survivor of Hell

I am a tragically beautiful person

I am from doubt myself

To slowly becoming more confident

I am from wearing my love like Heaven

To dragging you down with me

I am from being filled with song

To having a terrible darkness in my eyes

I am from classic rock

From The Beatles to Nirvana

From Bob Dylan to Donovan

From Janis Joplin to The Who

From The Rolling Stones to Joan Baez

From the Heavens and back down to Earth

I am from beautiful men and women

From John Lennon to Pattie Boyd

From Jane Asher to Klaus Voormann

From Stuart Sutcliffe to Cynthia Powell

From Astrid Kirchherr to George Harrison

I am from being a happy little girl

To being a hidden and scared teenager

I am from regretting everything

To being more than thrilled that it has happened

I am from crying my eyes out

To grinning and laughing and saying 'It's ok!'

I am Lindsey Grace

I can be no one else but myself

I cannot change

I will not change

I am from a beautiful mother and caring father

I am from an amazing brother to sweet little siblings

I am from people who care about me

I am from roleplaying and writing

I am from expressing my feelings in things like this poem

I am from kisses and hugs and cuddles

I am from joyous tears and happy shakes

I am from sarcastic jokes and playful growls

I am from sounds of laughter

And from shades of light

I am from opened light

And from nature

I am from meditation

And from beautiful music

I am from 'I'm shot! I'm shot!'

To 'Kill me pills.'

I am from 'Love one another.'

To 'Ty are you still there?'

I am from 'I can't stand it any longer.'

To 'I have him to keep me happy and safe.'

I from loving him

He treats me wonderfully

He makes me happy

From grins that he causes

To happy tears he causes

I am from being lost to being found

I am from being afraid of everyone

To slowly blossoming and opening up

I am from my muses

To other people's muses

I am from liking what I like

To liking what my peers like

I am from the stars

I am from the Heavens

I do sin but I am my own angel

I am good but I am my own devil

I may be pretty but I am not gorgeous

I may be fair looking but I am not ugly

I am Lindsey Grace

I have endured more than anyone ever has in the thirteen years of their life

I am from Rocky Horror to Harry Potter

From Tinkerbell to Nightmare Before Christmas

From broken hearts to happy healed ones

From wanting to pick a fight to world peace

I am from being chained by sadness

To being as free as a bird

I am from blonde hair to red hair

I am from being jolly and happy

To being lonely and distant

I am from being confident to timid

I am Lindsey Grace

Which is more than you'll ever be

So don't judge me, I'm a kind soul

Just waiting and waiting until you fall down to your knees

I'll smile and help you back up though

Because I am Lindsey Grace

And I am my own angel
