Stronger In Victory

The greatest power we can yield is over ourselves. Look within for validation and answers. Don't let others hurt or define you by their limited views. Be your best self and shine brightly. You are a star. 

Stronger in victory 
By Michelle Morris
19/12/2022

When the hurt is so deep
That body armour would never be enough
Wounded soul, heart and mind
Leads to silence and slower trust

Those people that have hurt you
They have no regard for life
Only seeking power 
Limited views creating strife

Remember that you're powerful
Of stars and infinite atoms
You can create anything
Yes, you can make it happen

And no matter what
Others say or do
No one has the power
Or control over you

Take the time you need
To work through your trauma
Heal your very being
With self-care and warmth

In time those wounds will be scars
Battlefield memories of history
You will prevail and thrive
Stronger in victory
