Weight

I am
Who and what I am
It doesn't depend on other people's love
Attention or opinions
I can stand on my own feet
Even if they're wobbly
Alone
I know the strength of my bones
They've never broken
I will choke death and the whole damn world if it's wrong
Write my own anthem song and wave my own lighter
I am a fighter
And a lover
And a writer
And sometimes I'm that bitch
With entirely too many ish
I don't require validation
My words have no equivocation
Hear me roar
Or maybe purr
Depends on your relation
To me
I know my worth
I have defeated monsters
Walked when my steps hurt
Carrying more hurt on my shoulders
I learned to carry boulders
In spite of the slightness of my frame
I will hold my weight
And more
