how determined you are to teach me not to express myself.
the way you've learned your whole life.
to keep me seen and not heard.
i will be seen, and i will be heard.
i will make space for myself where you've told me there is none.
i will not end up like you.
i will not take no for an answer.
in every instance where i feel you'd tell me to stay small,
i will make myself the biggest person in the room.
i will keep fighting until i have everything anyone has ever
convinced you
you couldn't have.
and i hope you're proud of that.
