Prove Me Right, I Dare You

Confirm my thoughts, please.

Tell me that I'm just a silly girl

for thinking there's anything here for me.

That you, of all people, would have any place

in your world

for a head like this one.

Tell me my words aren't as bold

and strong

and colorful as I think they are

and that they do far less magic

than I hoped.

Scream at me that I am just

a headstrong idealist

who will one day spiral

downward

until reality finds me flat on my face.

Unless, of course,

you think otherwise

and can prove me right.
