" Self-Worth"
Self-Worth- Mythic
My Self-worth is not defined
By my monotony
Nor by the bright elation that
Rises in me.
My emotions shift like
Passing Storms-
But my worth is older than
Weather.
My Self-worth is not defined
By anyone's opinions.
People speak from their own
Shadows,
Their own fractured mirrors
None of them rewrite me.
My Self-worth is not bent by
Perception,
Nor altered by misunderstanding.
It stands like an ancient pillar,
Carved from memory.
My Self-worth is mine-
Innate, steady,
Unshaken by Darkness or
Light.
My Self-worth remains.
