The next time somebody tries to treat you like you are worth less than a whimpering, beaten dog
Bare your teeth.
Snarl.
Growl, build the courage from the pit of your stomach and bark loud enough to be heard from the universe next door.
Do not stick your tail between your legs and cower,
Do not drop your head

Hold your head high, Pin your ears back
Lock eyes with those who beat you down and do not look away

You have been the one to lick your wounds
To calm yourself through the storms
And to get back up after every ******* fall

Do not treat yourself as a muzzled house pet
Do not let them call you by the wrong name and come running

You are a wolf
Shed your sheep's clothing and stand your ground

Be Heard;

I AM A ******* FORCE TO BE RECKONED WITH
I AM STRONG, I AM POWERFUL
I HAVE BEEN THE PROTECTOR AND I WILL PROTECT MYSELF
I AM WORTH MORE THAN YOU'VE SHOWN ME

The next time someone strikes you down
Strike back.
