I am worth the earth the moon and the stars

I'm worth the truth of a priest  

I’m worth a story full of life 

I'm worth living in a fairytale 

full of Love and happiness 

Im worth the respect of a man 

Im worth the trust of a doctor 

Im worth more then a picture of my body

Im worth more than the fake smile you give your family when 

You pretend everythings alright

I KNOW I’M WORTHY

I’m Worthy of the life that God has built for me 

I’m Worthy to walk the path that men have paved for themselves

I’m Worthy of the honor men get when they “mess up”

I’m  Worthy to Pave my Own path 

I AM A LEADER

I am a Leader Who will lead herself

I am a leader who will not back down because of intimidation

I am a leader who will not follow in a man's footsteps 

Just to have the outcome of pain, abuse ,and disaster 

I AM A WOMAN 

I'm a woman of minority 

I am a  woman who has suffered the pain, at the cost 

Of a man’s hounding words and selfish actions 

I am a woman who knows that knowledge is power 

I am Woman who knows she’s not a man but 

a woman who will not settle for less 

then the partakings of being treated as an equal 

I KNOW MY WORTH 

I KNOW IM WORTHY 

I AM A LEADER 

AND 

IF YOU DON'T LIKE THAT 

THEN YOU WILL BE TREATED LIKE THE OBJECT YOU VIEW WOMEN AS 

a ghost in the background with little to no voice.

this poem is about knowing yourself worth younger girls  are subjected following a man, listening to a man and even learning how to take abuse from a man I belive that young women need to know what they are worth form the naked eye.They deserve the world,regardless of any man.
