I found myself escaping,
From those who loved me tirelessly.
I was coerced into the realm of conceit,
Blinded to truths aplenty.
~~~~~~
Doubts about my worth took hold,
My path made arduous, stories told.
But now, I perceive the ruse they were,
Fear, you’ve played your part, I concur.
~~~~~~
Numerous chances slipped through my grasp,
Yet, now I’m certain of my chosen path.
I trust I’ll shatter these confining walls,
For life grants chances each time it calls.
~~~~~~
Remember, both rising and stumbling occur,
The world’s judgments needn’t define what’s pure.
With bravery and dreams as my mission,
I’ll surpass limits, despite inhibition.
~~~~~~
Raising fortifications of dread,
