The Woman I’m Becoming

I’m proud of the woman I’m learning to be,

Built on grit, not luck, not money, not he.

No handouts, no shortcuts, no easy way through,

Just sweat and sacrifice, steady and true.

18 years, I stood on my own,

Raised my daughter, made our house a home.

Through late nights, tight checks, and quiet tears,

I grew stronger with every passing year.

This mindset I carry, I forged from pain,

From lessons in loss, from walking through rain.

So don’t ask me who helped—I’ll say, me.

I became her—

The woman I’m proud to be.
