You

You are here to make a difference
Let nobody tell you otherwise
You are unique, there's no other you
Don't believe all of life's lies
"you're worthless and useless
You'll never amount to anything
The whole world is against you
You're just not worth loving"
No! That's not true, don't listen
The words will try to break you
They'll hurt you and make you cry
Then you start to doubt the things you do
You need to confront these words
And don't accept defeat
Say great things about yourself
Take a stance, be strong and win
I am strong and i am brave
I am loved no matter what you say
I am so much more than what i am now
I am beautiful in every single way.

I have no words......my voice is in my awe!! Well done in every way! The musicality, the message, the depth and power!

Just have to say one little thing, and that concerns "Take a stance". Stance and stand are similar in meaning, and either would do in this poem, empowering the message and whatnot, but it's really what you would like to say – I'm not sure whether you put "stance" out of desire or out of a mistake, thinking it's a fancier way of saying "stand". Are you intending to say "pick a side"/"assume a sturdy position" (stance) or "rise up against the enemy" (stand)?

Superbly done otherwise!!

Great words, probably not said enough in this world.
We spend so much time competing with others. Then we start to compete with ourselves. If only people realised. You have to fail to succeed in this world.

I agree, we need to understand that the key to success lies in our ability to learn from our failures and move past them. Thanks Paul
