“You are worthless
You are not wanted
You aren’t worth this
Your growth is stunted”
I shush the voice
Yet it continues to berate
I have the choice
But the feedback’s irate
What stops me
Besides a gossamer whisper?
Intangible but mean
It’s a bossier whipper
Tie me to the stake
Whip me till I bleed
But I’ll say thanks
Harden my greed
Ideals take seed
While you tell me no
I insist on eating what I feed
Knowledge from what’s sowed
I’m stronger than you
I do not need to prove
When I wake I choose
I’m strong, I will not move
