'Knowledge is power, or so I’ve heard- that power is the key, to fly free like a bird. But I’ll never have the power. I’m flightless and scared; the damage is done and can never be repaired. Or at least that’s what I thought, for a long length of time. I’m now ready to gain this knowledge- it’s my time to shine. I’ll show them who I am and what I aspire to be! I am somebody! There’s more to me than they can see. I’m gifted in many ways and my intentions are pure. Eventually I’ll be that bird; I’ll glide and I’ll soar! Soar away from the fate that maybe would have been; I’m equipped and one day will show them, I AM A QUEEN.'
