Ever Again

Beginning to feel strong
And worthy
After so long
Of Feeling the exact opposite
Can be overwhelming
It can be
Such a shock to the system
To learn that
You are more
Than what they told you
To overcome
When everything
Was pointing
To that being impossible
To feel
A sense of belonging
When you’re so used to being
Othered
Can give you a sense of
Disbelief
Knowing now
That you’ll never let
Anyone
Tell you differently
Ever again
