Becoming.
<p>This poem is for anyone growing in silence.</p><p><span style="background-color: transparent;">For those who are often overlooked, underestimated, or unsure of their worth.</span></p><p>You may not have arrived yet, but every quiet step is shaping you.</p><p>Keep becoming!</p><p><br/></p><p>I wasn't made to bloom all at once</p><p>some days, I’m soil, silent and still.</p><p>But even in waiting, I’m rising unseen,</p><p>becoming the dream I’m called to fulfill.</p><p><br/></p><p>Becoming bold, through storms and strain,</p><p>Strength wrapped in layers of quiet pain.</p><p>I watched others rise... strong, unafraid,</p><p>Then came a voice... You too were made.</p><p><br/></p><p>I started to believe in myself</p><p>Saw my worth, my strength, my flame.</p><p>Took a few steps, small but sure.</p><p>And then boom!... my fire came.</p><p><br/></p><p>I changed.</p><p>Knowing fully well what I carry inside:</p><p>A light, if birthed, could fill the skies.</p><p>A single drop, though small and slight,</p><p>Can join the tide and birth great might.</p><p><br/></p><p>Going onward may stretch your soul,</p><p>But vision is what will make you whole.</p><p>What you stand to gain pulls you through</p><p>Purpose pushes when pain tries to stop you.</p><p><br/></p><p>Don’t call it childish... don’t lose hope.</p><p>You’re not “too small” to climb this slope.</p><p>You think you're not enough? You are.</p><p>Just take the step... you’ll go far.</p><p><br/></p><p>Growth is not just a one day thing,</p><p>It builds with time and consistency.</p><p>From becoming... to become! ... a journey lived.</p><p>So rise, even when fear says wait.</p><p>You are not behind ... you're <span style="background-color: transparent;">just in shape.</span></p><p>Every step, every scar, every fall you faced</p><p>Was part of the fire that makes you great.</p><p><br/></p><p><br/></p><p><br/></p><p><br/></p>
