They told me I was nothing
They told me I was a mistake
They told me I deserved suffering
For the crime of existing, I was a bane

Well, I will prove them wrong
I walk with a confident stride
I will most certainly prove them wrong
I rise up in anger and fight the lies

I know I can find purpose
I feel the calling to something bigger
I know I am more than worthless
A thorny rose growing in winter

I… I… I am… Felicity Rhyolite
I am joy, fury, curiosity, shame, an enigma
I do not need your approval to be me
I am a flame burning in the darkest night.
