Advocate for Ourselves

https://thedailyspur.wordpress.com/2026/06/29/advocate/

We learn, slowly,
that our voice is not a burden
but a bridge.

We feel the quiet urge
to stand up for our needs,
even when our hands shake.

Being our own advocate
isn’t loud or perfect —
it’s choosing ourselves
in small, steady ways.

It’s saying this matters,
even when others don’t see it.
It’s honoring our truth,
and letting it guide us home.
