This poem came to me in high school, during a poetry project. I remember reading it and feeling like someone finally got what the struggle was like.

Long live the rose that grew from concrete, you learned to walk without having feet.

I unbound my special edition Belle by American Girl doll today, and I cried. I only have so much space to write, but buying this doll was so therapeutic. Little Erika was so happy to get this doll today. I hugged her like she was my best friend.
