The most authentic me



I celebrate me, myself, my worth

I am confident because I know how self motivated I am

How goal oriented I am even though I might procrastinate

 

Don't get me wrong, some days I'm anti-social

I get annoyed, upset and I'll break down

 

If you want to be happy,I'm your girl

I'm the easiest person to talk to, so I've been told

I think it's because I know what needing a friend is like

And I never want anyone around me feeling like this

 

It takes a lot to make me upset

Silly,avoidable mistakes are my biggest pet peeve

But I believe mistakes help you, so I'll help you

 

I do have a selfish part of me

I have a stubborn part of me too

A part of me where I want things done my way or no way

 

I'm also kind hearted

I will go so far out for you because I know pain, disappointment and gut wrenching, heart breaking lonliness

I know what feeling out of place is

 

I know what needing and hoping is like

I don't know what giving up is

I know disapproval

But I refuse to know what quitting is like

 

I grew up without a father

I have a father but never had a father

The one thing he taught me was FORGIVENESS!

 

I am my family

Jovial, silly and outspoken

I am Jamaican

Beautiful, strong and productive

Accepting nothing but the best

Nothing but the best

Nothing that comes easy but refusing to fail!

This is the most authentic me...
