when a woman realizes whats going on. |
I matter…… I turned to myself and withdrew. I could no longer control what was going on around me I did not know what else to do. I tried to be perfect but that was not enough, I was always on call whether night or day, I gave my all to only get less. Has my life come down to this, do I really not matter. I have tried to speak out, but my voice is so small. It seems no one can help, or is it that I really don’t matter. I look thru eyes that have to look thru crying eyes in order to see. My soul is bleeding and Im wounded within. When I try to scream, a whimper comes out. So I quiver and cower in this corner, because I feel like I don’t matter. Life no longer has a meaning to me, why am I living. Then when I felt all hope is gone and I had gave up, A sliver of light began to shine in my dark corner. I felt strength that I never knew, like I had a voice. So I tried to stand, and stood taller than ever. My life has meaning and I am somebody, And today I take it back, I do matter. You can no longer keep me cowering in a corner, I refuse to be put down by your words, i am worth more than that. I am a woman of worth and will not let a man dictate my self being. I am freeing myself today, free to be the woman I was made to be. I will not let a man cause me to withdraw again, I am a strong woman and I matter. I matter, I matter, I matter if not to you than definitely to myself. Life has meaning and it is full of opportunities. And I am going to take advantage of every single one I can. Because I matter!!! |
