Bottom to Top

It’s impossible.
I can’t.
You won’t make it.
He’ll never amount to anything.
Why bother?
No one cares about you.
Stupid girl!

So many things we are told;
So many things that are imposed,
Allowing ourselves to be sold
Into slavery;
Chained to fallacy;
Sentenced to misery.
Till one dares to give the shout,
To sound the alarm
And cry
Get out!

Gone the time of self reproach,
The days of weakness past.
Now a new dawn has broke.
A soul from nightmare prison woke.
Forging ahead,
Free from dread.
Ready to give.
Free to breathe,
To love,
To hope,
Living truly
Not simply trying to cope.
Standing tall
And firm
And grand,
No longer a boy
At last a man.
