I am powerful


I once though
everyone else needed to change:
to be more accepting,
caring,
supportive.
 
I was wrong.
 
I don't need people
to change for me.
 
I just need to see myself.
 
I am powerful.
 
I can be myself,
Whether or not
anybody else cares.
 
I am powerful,
And as long
 
as I remember that,
all I need is me.
