You poor thing
Thinking that
Putting me down
Makes you more
Of a Man!!
Just because you can?!
It rolls off me
Like rain on a slanted roof
Like lies in the face of truth
I am as powerful
As I believe myself to be
I stand strong
In the face of adversity
I don’t need you
To validate me
I choose to be
Where I am
Not because I have to
But because I can
