Unshaken

I don’t shrink for storms,
I don’t bow to doubt,
You can throw your shadows —
I am walking with the sunlight out!

Your whispers hit like pebbles,
Mine echoes like a drum,
You try to dim the fire —
I am where the sparks are from!

No borrowed fear can hold me,
No smallness makes me drown,
Build your walls of worry —
I will rise. I won’t come down!
