2016 Winner

Kandy

I’m made out of love and hate

I open my eyes to the future

Seeing myself doing well in life

But today I feel like I’m going nowhere

I feel forgotten

When the shows fall, I feel lonely

Like burning metal that never goes out

But it’s hurtful

You might find me cheerful and loving

But on the inside I feel like my heartbeat

Is the only thing keeping me from freedom

My dream is to become a successful business woman

My biggest fear is to not succeed in life

My very best friends make me feel safe inside

They like me for me and I love them for that

The sound of my laughter is unknown

Because I am very serious

I feel like I can do anything when I am sleeping

In my dreams I am dancing, singing and being me

And nothing negative gets in the way of that
