CRY BABY

They called me Crybaby because I easily weep
Treated like a girl not worth the keep
Stepped on like a doormat, used like open doors
I answered the call to fight generational wars

Deeming myself unworthy of God’s impossible mission
I rose with trembling and intimidation
Afraid, I braved life’s fierce storm
Shifting the narrative, a warrior was formed

I’m still a crybaby tears come with ease
Now I cry for victories, not for sorrow’s release
Triumphant applause echoes as thunder from high
Each tear shed luminous, for I am no longer tied

With newfound courage, I’ve seen God’s glory 
Transforming my life and rewriting my story

A nice poem of personal triumph. It's funny. I noticed that as a kid, I cried when I was hurt, and now I cry at beauty.

Good descriptiveness and rhyming in a well written piece.
