The Girl I Mean To Be

by Maleficent-darkgoodwitch2416

Elphaba wants a place of her own, almost gets it, but loses it and passes the knowledge of what she wants onto Glinda, who wishes the same thing for her daughter.

2. The Wicked Witch of the West

I own nothing.

The years passed and I became the Wicked Witch of the West. When I reached Kiamo Ko, the words of my song came back to me and I sang quietly—I found it. I had to tell Glinda about this—what I'd never told her.

"I need a place where I can go, where I can whisper what I know, where I can whisper who I like and where I go to see them. I need a place where I can hide and no one sees my life inside, where I can make my plans and write them down so I can read them, a place where I can bid my heart be still and it will find me, a place where I can go when I am lost and there I'll find me. I need a place to spend the day, where no one says to go or stay, where I can take my pen and draw the girl I mean to be."
