I Will Poem by Carrie Salazar

You told me you hate me
You told me I deserved to be hurt
You told me you regret having me

I was just a kid
I did not deserve that but
I thought I did

All these years I listened you when you said
That I would never amount to anything
I listened when you said I was worthless and not worth loving

It has taken me a long time to realize that
I am something and
I am worth more than you ever made me feel

I will be something greater than you ever imagined
I will do great things and most of all
I will overcome this and put this behind me!
