My worth belongs to me
It will not depend on anyone else for validation
I have faced many trials alone
Embraced and opened my world up to the Unknown
Borne many scars and throughout it all I have learnt and grown
If I am met with trepidation or disdain I will know this is not my final resting place
I will rise up stronger and look fear in the eye
Cast out what no longer serves and wave it goodbye
Even when the sticky mud pulls me in and refuses to release gripping me and dragging me down
I know I have the will to fight and conquer and with a trust in faith
all in time will turn once more to peace, harmony, love, and grace.
I won't validate this with a title
