I did not choose my teeth.
I did not choose my face.
I did not choose my hair.
I did not choose my age.
I did not choose my name.
I did not choose my accent.
I did not choose my eye colour.
I did not choose my body.
I cannot choose my gender.
I cannot choose the year I was born.
I cannot choose my voice.
I cannot choose the weather.
so I will choose where I live when I am older.
so I will choose my dream job, an actress.
so I will choose to live in a city with my dream dog.
so I will choose to be more confident.
I’ll choose to make good choices.
I’ll choose to be who I am.
