Strong

Who are you,

To approve or disapprove of me,

To make me feel less than,

Less than human,

Who gave you such authority to decide my character,

I sure as hell did not!

My life is a rollercoaster ride,

Full of extremes,

Pushing the norms to bugling out its limit,

But I am not weaker than you,

I am not any less human,

I am not made wrong,

And I am not made to be pitied.

I stand tall in who I am,

My character is intact,

I know who I am,

I may not know my destination,

But I know I am strong enough for the journey.

You do not break me.
