At Last Poem by Doctor Dashaun Snipes

At last, I stand tall and proud
A beacon of strength, my voice loud
For years, I was hidden in the shadows
But now, I break free from all the woes
Independence, I claim it with my might
No longer a victim, I am a shining light
With every step, I feel my spirit soar
For I am no longer someone's doormat on the floor
I am free from all the chains that bound me
No longer a slave to someone else's decree
I have broken free, I have found my way
And in this moment, I celebrate my independence day
My heart sings with joy and glee
As I embrace my true self, finally
No longer constrained by society's norms
I break free from all the labels and forms
I am a warrior, fierce and brave
No longer afraid of the world's harsh wave
For I have found my inner strength
And I will go to any length
To protect my freedom and my soul
For it is my birthright, my ultimate goal
No one can take it away from me
For I am the embodiment of liberty
Gone are the days of self-doubt and fear
I am no longer someone's puppeteer
I spread my wings and fly high
For I am the queen of my own sky
I am no longer defined by others' opinions
For my self-love is my biggest dominion
I embrace my flaws and all my imperfections
For they make me unique, they are my greatest reflections
I am enough, just as I am
No longer chasing perfection, I am my own exam
I love myself, mind, body, and soul
And with this love, I am forever whole
No longer do I seek validation
For I am my own source of motivation
I am confident, I am fierce
For I have conquered all my fears
At last, I stand tall and proud
No longer a victim, my voice is loud
For I am independent, I am free
And there's nothing in this world that can stop me.
