The super skinny girls just want a nice butt so the boys will ask her out to the dance. To all the super-smart nerdy girls who hid her intelligence just to fit inThis is for that cute queer boy who doesn't know if he likes girls or boys yet or how he even identifies sexually in this ever-changing world, but that's no one's business but his own.The girl got that was raped at the party because she had too many drinks and no one was there to give her a ride home, and when she told someone they denied her truth and reality.This one is for you.

Growing up hiding in plain sight.Deep-rooted trauma bonds with my best friends throughout the years of my life.

Authentically, unapologetically and emotionally.This is MY poetic story of finding my whole healed self.I found my true strength to come back from the dead. Coming back for everything the HATERS told me my entire life I could never haveNow it is all on me.-Remember the black sheep eventually will end up being the GOAT, in the very end. The good guy lives long enough to eventually become the villain.Everyone is "e;the villain"e; in someone's story. I just happen to be the most real bitch in every room I walk in.Fuck it #MASKOFF ??Shee' xo
