I am me


Who am I?

I am stronger than you believed me to be

Smarter than I thought I could be

I am the "no's" that you reminded me

and the "yes's" of my own destiny

I am the past that worries you

and the future that will carry you

I am the words you never said

and the lies I had to make up in my head

I am the one you forgot

and I'll make sure that's your last thought

I am the definition of success

because I will continue to progress

I am your biggest threat

and one day you'll look back and regret

Who am I?

I am me

and me is all I need to be
