I know what you think of me,
But I also know who I am.
I know what you think I can't do,
But I know what I can.
Your words no longer hurt,
And I no longer worry about your opinion.
Now I know what was always there,
It just took me awhile to see it.
That it really doesn't matter,
What you say and what you do.
Because no matter how much of a screw up I might be,
I'll never be anything like you.<3

To anyone who's ever been pushed around. Don't let them tell you who you are. Just show them what you can be.
