I dropped the mic…
I stand boldly
I am different
In saying this
I drop the mic on diffidence
My scars you cannot see
My trophies I showcase within
My words are what reveal
My battle cry, my creed
I dropped the mic
When first I sang
My victory
My freedom song
My wounds lay bare
Internally
My words reveal
My inner being
I open my eyes
Hear me roar
Feel my truth
Disregard my scorn
I dropped the mic
When first I sang
My victory
My freedom song
I dropped the mic
And let it fall
I dropped the mic
The battle done
I dropped the mic
I have won.






You nailed it Shelley!
