I want to be Meredith
from Brave.
She can shoot bows.
She is fearless, she wants freedom
like me.
My brothers don’t turn into bears.
I wish they did.
She tries new things
no matter how scary.
She fights for herself
choosing her own
path.

I can camouflage
like a chameleon
out of the house.
I am speed
X-ray vision
out of the house.
Like super girl
out of the house.
I can teleport
out of the house
without my Mum and Dad noticing
out of the house.
Pillows beneath my blanket
pretending I’m there
out of the house
at the Mardi Gras.
