Empowerment comes from within

Going through everything that’s meant to bring you down,

Breaking down walls and turning smiles into frowns.

Always pushing to be the best,

Going into battle with a bulletproof vest.

Working harder for the grind,

But your superiors are acting blind.

Not recognizing your worth,

Don’t stop, keep going, push forth.

I know you can do it, you’ve done it before,

Showcase your talents and take the floor.

Whatever weakness they think you have,

Proof you’re strength and create the path.

All eyes are watching to see you fall,

You may have once hit a small wall.

Pick yourself up from the trenches of defeat,

You know the taste of failure but also of victory, so sweet.

Dust off the negativity of the hatred,

You are strong and you are greatness!
