I can still hear your voice

I can always hear your voice

Telling me I can do it

Telling me I’m smart

Telling me I’m worthy.

Sometimes I curse it

Sometimes I argue

I’m not as good as you say

I’m not as smart as you think

I’m not the girl you think I am.

You don’t relent

You don’t change your stand

You don’t see failure as an option for me.

You hold my hand

You make me keep my head up

You make me believe I can be  …….

                                Anything!
