A Step Above The Rest

Anywhere could have been

Somewhere I would have stayed
They did not give me a choice
Even a chance
Purposely pushing me

Away from everyone
But telling me that I spend too much time
On my own
Verifying
Every reason I ever had

To want to be on my own
How helpless I used to be
Even now, not having

Reasons to want to go out there to claim my own
Esteem
Self confidence
Trust in myself
