Scarred but not broken, Shattered but not destroyed. Quiet but not a victim, Strong but not rude. I am all things God Made me be. I am strong, beautiful And more than enough: I am powerful and A warrior from within; Married to the significance of nature, Demeaned by mere men; Not understood by many, Loved by a few, Hurt by a million small parts Of instances, incidents, people And expectations of this sheer heart! Scarred but not broken, Shattered but not destroyed.
The strength and self-empowerment in this poem is lovely!
