Tatianna Leachet Poet Bio

I Have Goals

I have goals
Goals that I am determined to accomplish
I will not let anything get in the way of my goals
I will hold my head up high
I will pick myself back up when I get pushed to the ground
I will be the best that I can be
And I will not let anybody bring me down

I deserve the best and only the best
If I do not receive the best
Then it is not worth it
I am a beautiful, kind, loving person
If people cannot see that, they don’t deserve a second of my time
No one deserves to have power over my emotions
No one deserves to be able to take over me

I am strong 
I can do many great things
I have potential
I just need to try

I may be heartbroken and hurt now
But that doesn’t mean that I’ll be this way forever
I may be depressed and have bad anxiety now
But that doesn’t mean I will forever

No matter how much it hurts
I have to stay strong
I have to keep my chin up and keep moving forward
I can’t let the people that hurt me see me cry
I can’t let the people that hurt me know that I’m in pain
I can’t let them hold that power of being able to control how I feel

It’s okay to cry
It’s okay to be hurt
It’s okay to be in pain
But it’s not okay to let these emotions control me
I am not defined by a person
I am not defined by a relationship
I am not defined by what others say of me
I am what makes me me and only I can do that

Things will get better
Time heals all wounds
But things will only get better if I allow them to
If I think about it too much, I’ll only hurt myself more
I deserve to be happy and that’s exactly what I’ll be
