I will never understand how it is to live in poverty
Not in poverty of wealth in societal standards 
Poverty of the soul
I believe it's a beautiful thing to understand culture, values, ethics, foods, music, dance
It's part of humanity 
Since our exsistance, we've all came together in unity 
Evidently we are social creatures 
We are all the same 
No one better or worse 
So why judge? 
I have no enemies and I don't believe I should 
What have I done to wrong anyone?

I just want to be known as Anthoulla 
With just a name I want to be known 
I know I'm different 
I know when I walk in the room what people think of me 
I hate the attention 

Social creature obsessed with beauty and knowledge 
 
I'm not lost anymore 
I know who I am 
I'm no longer living in darkness, depression, and fear
I know where I want to go
I want to shine 
I want to be brilliant 
I just want to be me now

I hope someday you find yourself and love you for you 
No one can replace you or ever be you 
Take pride in yourself because you have talent and grace 
No one can take away your essence - make sure it's always a good one 

With love, 
A
