I AM HERE


I am here

is what I told you.

You dismissed me

just like everyone else.

What I tell you people who treated me like I'm not worth anything,

I tell you,

you will not make me feel like that anymore, 

because I am worth everything

to someone.

 

I am here 

is the presence I will take on.

and show the rest of the world 

that I do matter.

I am stronger now

because I was the one who built myself back up.

I did it when I told you 

I am here.
