I will no longer betray myself


I know I am on the right path because I am not willing to betray My True Self. 

I will no longer let others define who I am meant to be

I will no longer negotiate my integrity. 

 

My spirit, my soul, 

Are things to be treasured. 

If you can’t deem them worthy of time 

I will not give you the gift of mine
