Slam Piece: Why Am I Empowered?

Why am I empowered?
 
Because I have friends that accept me for who I am
Because I have passions and I want to try new things
Because I am supported
Because I choose to accept instead of being ignorant
Because I am at my best when I have my balance
Because it keeps me going
Because I care for people and other people care for me
Because I have hope
Because I have the respect for my family and peers
 
We are empowered when we
are accepted
are passionate
are supported
have a choice
have balance
keep going
care for
have hope
are respected
 
WE ARE EMPOWERED!
