Let them kick you,
Let them beat you,
Let them hurt you.
Each time this is done,
Rise back up and show them
That you are strong.
Let them degrade you,
Let them speak ill of you,
Let them offend you.
Each time something is said,
Brush it off and show them
That you don't care what they think.
Let them use you,
Let them provoke you,
Let them break you.
Each time they kick you down,
Walk away and show them
That they are the true weak ones.
Let them do what they want.
Show them that it comes with a price.
Let them be the bullies.
Show them it doesn't get them anywhere.
Let them be the ones to fall.
And show them that you will always be the one to get back up.
You are stronger than them,
Braver than them,
Smarter than them,
Kinder than them.
Don't let them keep you
On the ground.
~a.k.
