And Still I Rise

You are loved and blessed. Your worth is not dependent upon anyone or anything. Shine and believe in yourself. You're a star. 

Memories from 2021:
I've written a number of poems, including this one, in support of anyone who has experienced bullying or ill treatment. Remember that you are stronger than you know and that you deserve to be treated with dignity and respect.

Let's be kind to one another. Love, light and blessings. 

P. S. Please feel free to share this with anyone who may benefit from it. 

And still I rise...

You foolishly thought that you could put me down; and you foolishly thought that I would stay there...

And you thought that you were stronger than me;
That you could use brute force or even mind games to make me kneel before you... 

But I am powerful - 
I am a woman unleashed and free;
And I will continue to rise and stand tall, because 
That's my destiny... 

And still I rise, like the sun does every day -
And still I thrive despite every obstacle you put in my way...

Because I am a goddess for all time -
There is nothing and no one that can ever tame my spirit or hold me back from becoming all that I am capable of being and achieving... 

And still I rise... 
You can't stop me... 
And still I thrive... 
Because I am free... 
And still I rise... 
Eternally...
