What it took to get to me

It took standing up for myself, to get to me.

It took me believing how people showed me to be, to get to me.

It took me trusting my intuition, to get to me.

It took me putting up boundaries, to get to me.

It took me acknowledging areas that I need to grow in, to get to me.

It took me fighting for what I believe in, to get to me.

It took me no longer being a pushover, to get to me.
