You’ve written this exactly how I felt for years, and I still find pieces even over 50. I believe that’s just how it’s meant to be. I hope and pray I find healthier ones and strong ones and so many more from here on out. Thank you so much for sharing this! You’ve reminded me that, a disability isn’t the end and I can keep going. ❤️‍🩹❤️🤗

The poem feels like someone gently lifting the veil on their own inner life, revealing a part of themselves that has been protected for years. There’s a quiet trembling in the way the speaker wonders what will happen when the world finally sees her true face this crystal‑bright self that has been hidden, guarded, almost forgotten. The girl in the poem doesn’t yet recognize her own strength or the quiet royalty she carries, and that unawareness makes her feel tender, vulnerable, deeply human. The fear of exposure sits right beside the longing to be known, creating a soft tension that runs through every line. The crystal becomes a symbol of a soul that has survived, waited, and kept its clarity despite everything. What makes the poem so moving is the hope woven through it the belief that one day she will break her own barriers, step into her power, and finally see herself as she truly is: whole, luminous, and worthy of her own crown.
