Go ahead, take it –
take the empowerment  –
you’ll like the way it feels –
it’s definitely worth it
to ditch the victimhood
and the self justification

Take the empowerment  –
it’s worth the humbleness it takes
to toss off how you’ve framed yourself before  –
I promise you’ll enjoy it,
and you’ll feel much more
like how you always sensed
that you could be.
