Loud and Proud


I'm proud of who I am to be

Mostly because I speak my mind

But mostly because I am me.

 

Some people say I'm too soft spoken

I just don't have much to say really

Better than being a record that is broken.

 

My mother and father make me quite proud

Though we fight and bicker sometimes

I wil always want them around.

 

The leaves outside bring me great happiness

Especially when they are changing

Except for the tress with how much sap there is.

 

George Stand once said

"There is only one happiness in this life to love and be loved."

I think of this quote every night before bed.

 

Happiness is made by being yourself

Not by gifts or prentending

My happiness is as simple as reaching for a low shelf.
