My life

The life I was once gave
made me the strong, wise woman I am today.
I am Makayla Stevenson, and you will know my name.

Through storms that tried to break me,
I learned how to dance inside the rain.
Every scar became a lesson,
every loss became my gain.

I was built from silent battles
no one else could truly see,
yet I carried every burden
and still became me.
I am Makayla Stevenson, and you will know my name,
not from whispers in the darkness
but from the fire I became.

I turned pain into power,
tears into gold,
and wrote my own story
before the world was told.
I am a living testimony 

proof that God still heals,
still restores broken hearts,
and turns wounds into something real.

I say Iam a living testimony,
shaped by faith, not fear,
and every step I take today
is proof that God was here.

I am Makayla stevenson 

no longer bound by yesterday—
just the child who found the strength
to finally break free. 
Remember this poem 
Remember my testimony...
