You Are Wrong Poem by geraldine roux

You think that i am vulnerable but you are wrong
You think that i don’t know how to handle pain
But you are wrong
I know exactly where i am going.
How to get there might be a different story
But i have the courage to take the leap
I am blessed with a strength of character you cannot see
I can distinguish between right and wrong.
I am not still the child of years gone by
You underestimate the power of purpose in my life
Nobody can push me down
Nobody can take me out
Not because i am untouchable
But because i refuse to let them.
I will not give another human being the chains to cuff me
To tie me up in a knot of helplessness
I will stand tall and climb every mountain in my path
Because i can and i am destined to get to the top
You may not agree with all my decisions,
But they are mine to make
You may think i am arrogant
But i am not
I believe that fate is something you make for yourself
I refuse to be a sorry wreck
And all just for somebody who did not really see me
I am who i am and i like myself
Every decision that i make i make based on my experience.
There is only one way to build that experience: through living
I will live a successful life with joy love hope and peace.
Because i deserve it.....
It is a choice that i make
And call me stubborn, call me naive
But i refuse to forget where i come from
I am not mourning a loss for me
Because you cannot mourn for something you never knew
I believe that life has an adventure instore
And only by taking that step can i take part in it
You think that i am falling apart
But you are wrong
Maybe you are the one who must learn
That not accepting whats going on
Is not only making you unhappy,
But ultimately keeping me back from closure
I will go forward with my head held high
Because it is my God given right.
And one day when the blossoms of my life’s tree is grown
They will stand back and say:
I might not have agreed with everything done
But she did the best she could with what she had.
And on that glorious day when all will come to realize that truth
I will let out a sigh of relief
Because finally others can see
The potential and love and grace that God gave me
