Another Chapter

Original Submission by Rebecca Mitchell

Another Chapter

I was told I was this

I was told I was that

So often that I began to believe it

I became the words that were uttered by those who only knew me by name

After years of believing what had been said

I looked at myself and cried

But wipe your tears my love

It isn’t over

There is still time
