The Day I Stopped Saying Sorry

The Day I Stopped Saying Sorry

I See a Day...

I see a day where I no longer whisper apologies

for taking up space in a world that told me to shrink.

Where my voice is not an inconvenience,

but a melody carried by the wind, steady and strong.

I see a day where my footsteps echo confidence,

not the careful tiptoe of someone afraid to be too much.

Where I do not ask permission to exist,

nor silence my fire to make others comfortable.

A World Without Fear

I see a day where safety is not a privilege

but a right woven into the air we breathe.

Where no hand clenches in defense,

no heart races at the sound of footsteps behind.

Where love does not come with a price tag,

nor kindness as a currency to be spent

on those who see vulnerability as weakness.

When My Reflection Feels Like Home

I see a day where mirrors do not hold battles,

where I do not pick apart my body like a stranger.

Where I wear my skin like armor,

not a cage built from unrealistic expectations.

Where I do not measure my worth in pounds,

nor in the space between my thighs.

But in the depth of my laughter,

the strength of my hands, the fire in my soul.

The Power of Now

I see a day where "someday" is no longer a whisper,

where I wake up and realize—

That day is today.

Where I am already enough.

Where I do not owe the world an apology

for being exactly who I am.
