I never thought much of myself

just a girl that was told she

would never amount to anything

too stupid for college

but just right for takin orders.

those words always stayed in my head.

never could I believe in myself

never could I appreciate myself

nope! My mother’s words sewn deep

into my brain. Everyday those were the

words that I’d wake up to. Another day. The same words.

one day I took control of my life. I was terrified at failure. You can’t do it, whispered throughout my day.

never good enough! Never smart enough. Until I broke those chains.

honours and A’s! Studied at Cambridge, England, too!

dear old mother, that always told me I’d never amount to anything…

look at me now! Living my dream! In London!
I finally found my self-worth…without you!
