You thought you could bring me down, but I still sit with my head held high... you thought you could bring me down, but I walk with the confidence of a lioness... you thought I was weak but I am the predator... I stand tall like an Oak tree, shoulders broad, chin held high, with determination in my eyes... my attitude amplifies my bravery, my strength, and my compassion... You thought you could take away my voice, but once again I contradict your words and your requests... You tried to take away my courage and my fearless attitude... You tired to take away my pain and my hurt, but at no avail you made me stronger and more fearsome... you gave me power, the same power you thought you had over me... I proved you wrong in every way possible... I proved that I am determined no matter what... I proved that I will rise no matter the circumstances... I proved that I AM STRONG... so when you sit down and finally have a chance to think, think about all the good you did for me while you were trying to bring me down... think about how I proved all the odds wrong... and think about how YOU THOUGHT WRONG... think about how successful I am but don’t forget to think about how strong... Life is true irony isn’t it?
