She said I would never amount to anything

She said I was an ugly fat and unintelligent girl

I told myself to be strong

One day my accomplishments will take this woman for a whirl

He said I was an accident at birth

He said I was deserving of only the worst kinds of pain

I convinced myself to hold on strong

For he may be the wrecking ball but I am the crane

She said I was an utter failure

A perfect definition of disgrace

I told her she was wrong and that it wouldn’t be long

Until in this world, I found my place

He told me to look in the mirror

I stared at each and every bruise

He said each one was a lesson to be learned

I told him in this game, he would surely lose

She told me I was the servant

A household slave to be exact

I told her that time was her leash

At 18, I would break free, that was fact.

He tried to hold me captive

In emotion as well as the physical sense

With my spit-fire soul

Any attempt of this nature were most dense

Many have tried to bring me down

I have taken many a fall

I always managed pull myself up

To rise again, above it all

For in my nature lies something providing much strength

It is a curiosity of life and future events

I pity those who morph into the trip wire trying to bring me down

For being metal in the mist of lighting does not make much sense

My eagerness to survive is high in potency

Determined to soar over each hurdles appearing

I am in the driver’s seat now

And I have a steady handle on my steering
