She Wondered....

She wondered what it would be like

 To not have to ask permission

For permission to accept

Herself

For permission to like

What she sees in the mirror

For permission to believe

She's enough

For permission to believe

That the way she is now

Can either be the way she is

Or a transition to who'll she'll become

She wondered what it would be like

If she were to just to say,

"No one gets to make the decision, but me..."

And have the permission she seeks

Be hers alone to give.
