I am going to do it

I am going to do it today!

I have the courage to stand up to you

No one can hold me back or tell me not to fight

I feel bold; I can take on anything this day that you are in my space

I will Not heel to you and your "Almighty self"

There are no more ropes to tie me down, I have broken free

They told me that I was making it up, to let it go like it was nothing

Today I am going to do it! 

I will never be bound to your merry go round 

The endless pain of circling the "I think I can do its" 

Today is the day to do this! 

You will be brought down, torn apart and stripped

Suffer ever more so then I have. The healing has finally begun

I have taken that painful first step 

For today is the day I stand up and be counted as one! 

One that has overcome what many many others are still hiding

One that will never be counted as the other!

I am one that will be strong, that has the love and guidance 

The vast army of others with not white flags of surrender

The blue flags of boldness and bravery.......

I AM GOING TO DO THIS......

Evokes emotion, which is what poetry is supposed to do, but I'm not clear (and probably not supposed to be) on subject and object -- in the vein of "I am woman, hear me roar!"

[My Fair Lady]

Empowering grace. I can feel the deep emotional energy it took to pen this. I feel you.

[Ellen Hammond]

A very empowering write. Being able to stand up and take that first step can be very hard. But once we are bold enough to do that, we gain an inner strength and a wonderful sense of being free.

[joewade]

I think that adding puncuation to this poem would make it stronger

[Radad Ibn Nasir]

After reading this i feel empowered to face anything that troubles me! Bring it on! Such a strong mental piece its great to know your worth, but tis far greater to fight for it should it ever be shunned or overlooked.
