i will not let my self worth be
measured by another's words.
i will not allow their actions to
affect who i am.
i know what i want and
how to get there
and i will not bend
to their mission of
bringing me down.
i am stronger than
i ever thought possible
and the words i spew
will become my motto.
i refuse to let society
decide how to degrade me
because this is my life
and I decide to be free.
