The Writer In Me Wants You To Know
The writer in me wants you to know
Challenges in life causes one to grow
The hurt and shame one will endure
Can cause vision to become obscure
Not settling for the prostrate position
Overcoming was achieved; I identified the condition
Of low self-esteem and all it entails
Had my mind messed up ‘cause I thought I failed
Failed to be what he wanted and desired
When looking back, I realize he conspired
To belittle me and keep me down
But here I am today with a re-positioned crown
No longer a prisoner of his demands
I took matters within so I could stand
On my own two feet I had to show
Challenges in life causes one to grow
