I Am Her ©Dawn Minott

Beforeword: Today marks the start of my birthMONTH. Yes, I don’t just celebrate my birthday, I celebrate the entire month.

I didn’t know her
Till she learned to love herself
To know she was deserving of love
To give love, to receive love

I didn’t know her
Till she could comfortably live in her own skin
Knowing that if she breathed for the very last time
She would have lived her all

I didn’t know her
Till she could acknowledge her own voice
To speak and live in her truth
Content in knowing that she mattered

I didn’t know her
Till she knew herself
That she’s always been ‘a me’ not ‘a us’ type o’ girl
Uniquely her in every way

I didn’t know her
Till she knew herself
Until she knew
I am her
