I am ME.

Today, I'm taking my SELF back.

When you stopped loving me, I let you make me believe I was less than. 

When you told others lies about me, I let myself feel shame for something I did not do.  I stayed quiet.

I became smaller, quieter, less seen. 
I became fearful and timid.
I stopped believing in myself.
I questioned everything.
I felt unworthy, I did not matter.
I closed.
I died inside.

I let you snuff the SPIRIT of ME.  I let myself be censored, be shamed, be scorned and I let you break me. I let your fear shape me.  

My heart broke, my spirit followed. I existed.

You cannot hurt me any more.  I will not let you.

It stops today.

I am me - deal with it!

I matter.
I am strong.
I am loving.
I am deserving of love.
I am generous.
I am supportive.
I am kind.
I am ethical.
I am fun.
I am alive.
I am open.
I am wild.
I am enthusiastic.
I am encouraging.
I am vulnerable.
I am light.
I am loved.
I am me.
ME.
