There are times when I fall,

and times I'm pushed,

there are times when I feel worthless,

and times I feel weak.

Sometimes I feel as if there's no point in fighting back,

at least that's what I used to think,

but how can I continue to concede, 

when I'm constantly being pushed to the brink.

Words are like knives,

they leave scars and can hurt the most,

but I refuse to let what others say about me,

define who I am.

I'm stronger than I've ever been,

when I fall down,

I stand back up,

nothing can break me, not anymore.

No one has the power to tell me what I can and can't do,

No one can tell me who I am, 

No one can make me feel like I'm not important,

I'm strong and I can take care of myself.

I am the hero of this story,

and I don't need to be saved.
