Reclaiming Worth

No one has the power to make you feel worthless
- so show them just that.
You’ve held that blade,
carving doubt into your skin,
like graffiti scrawled over your spirit,
letting others rule your heart
while you sat at rock bottom,
a prisoner to their judgments.
But the moment you rise,
you reclaim your power,
guarding it fiercely like a flame
that ignites from within.
Don’t shy away;
be the storm, the light,
the person you deserve to be -
raw, unfiltered, 
unapologetic.
