you stole,
falsely accused,
stomped on me,
spoiled my life,
but you will not succeed.
You cannot take me down.
I tried everything
to get rid of you,
peel you off me,
break free.
Nothing worked,
but I will rise above your intended ruin.
You cannot rake me down.
I will not feel
less than,
unworthy of love,
defeated,
demoralized.
I will not
look down on myself.
You cannot drown me in self-doubt.
I will not succumb,
you will not suck me in
with your whispers
of false guilt,
just because
I’m sick
and can’t attend
special events,
work side-by-side,
participate in social activities,
spend time with loved ones.
Your cannot snag me in your accusations.
It isn’t my fault
I can’t do more.
The waves of change won’t diminish me.
My worth reaches beyond what I can do,
where I can go.
You took away many abilities,
but you cannot take me.
You may always be here,
I may always feel your breath,
but you will not break me,
you will not take me
to a place of darkness or despair.
Yes, you may be here,
but that doesn’t mean
you can dictate how I feel about myself.
You cannot dishearten me.
I remain someone
who can
breathe and believe,
love and serve,
persevere and have purpose,
show care and compassion,
be strong and steady.
You cannot take away these pieces of me.
Yes, you came,
you stole,
falsely accused,
stomped on me,
spoiled my life,
but you will not succeed.
You took many things,
but you cannot take me.
