I didn’t wake up strong
I became it
step by step
tear by tear
In room.s where no one noticed
I was breaking
I learned strength in silence first in holding my own hand when no one else would in whispering you.ll make it even when I didn’t believe it yet my path was not soft was jagged uneven full of moments that tried to talk me down and leave me there but I stood maybe shaky maybe tired but still standing I gathered pieces of myself others overlooked and built something new not perfect but powerful strength became my voice my shield
