They called you names like broken glass,

Threw words like stones, each meant to pass

Their shadows onto you, but dear,

You’re forged of light, not born of fear.

They saw your quiet, called it weak,

But silence roars when kind hearts speak.

They mocked the way you danced alone

But stars don’t ask for praise to shine.

You are the storm they couldn’t tame,

The ember they refused to name,

The poem scribbled in the night

By hands that dream in black and white.

Unwanted? No. You’re carved from grace

A universe inside your face.

Each scar, a tale of battles braved,

Each bruise, a flag for what you’ve saved.

The bullies bark because they break

They see your joy, and theirs is fake.

But you, sweet soul, you rise and rise

With every tear, you claim the skies.

So lift your head. You’re not alone.

This world is yours. This heart’s your home.

No cruel word can dim your worth

You are the fire that warms the earth.
