Guarded Energy

They said I wasn’t enough—
but they said it from the outside,
and I stopped letting outside voices
rent space in my chest.

I’ve learned the difference
between advice and projection,
between critique and fear
wearing someone else’s mouth.

I don’t chase approval.
I walk with my head full of clarity,
my steps loud with intention,
my spirit unavailable for doubt.

What they called flaws
taught me balance.
What they called weakness
taught me endurance.
I kept my focus clean
and my energy guarded.

I am not here to be smaller
so others feel taller.
I am here, period.
Rooted. Certain. Unmoved.

They said I wasn’t enough.
I listened
then chose myself anyway.

Sincerely,
OakCliff Hidden Gems

This product is made especially for you as soon as you place an order, which is why it takes us a bit longer to deliver it to you. Making products on demand instead of in bulk helps reduce overproduction, so thank you for making thoughtful purchasing decisions!
