Born To Be #MightyPoets
The media says I need to be thin
I need to be beautiful
Anything but who I really am
As if perfection is the target I need to reach, or fail
But I’ll tell you something else about the girl that I am
I wasn’t born to be perfect I was born to stand out
In standing out this beautiful soul was created to be victorious,
Courageous, to rise above the darkness that tries to drag her down
I was born to be a fighter, survivor, warrior in this world
Perfection is not my name or the thing I was called to be
But I was born broken for learning and growth
So I’ll stand here and marvel at the beauty of the stars,
And the love of God, who created me to be perfectly me- unique
Born to be victorious
Born to be strong
Born to be a Princess- strong in God’s Kingdom
Born to be a daughter, a sister, a friend
Born to be a mother, courageous and strong
Born to be me. Exactly who I am.
No one else, nothing less
Because, Victorious is me
