No False Bravado
Location
No false bravado, before your eyes-
What you see is what you get, no cloak no disguise.
Despise me if you must, for I follow no one-
I choose my own path, for I am my fathers’ son.
I make no excuses, for there’s none to be made-
I take on all challenges and passed with high grades.
I distance myself, from those who dare not try-
For in life we need obstacles to keep us in stride.
The light shines bright upon my accomplishments-
From the class, to tutoring, and extra-curricular events.
Am I proud of myself? Yes, I say that I am-
Am I proud of my life? Yes, and please understand.
I’m not being conceited; in life we’re all dealt a hand-
It’s how we use our minds; it’s how we take a stand.
To do what we must for each individual-
Have trust in our decisions, and live with the residuals.
I know I chose right, I give it all and not half-
I follow no one, I chose my own path.
