Im not perfect and I know it

But still the best in me tries everyday

My life is my story and my statement 

Its caused me to be who I am today

 

Im not extraordinary nor a diamond in the rough 

But my values set me apart

I make mistakes like you 

And from it learn to better my start

 

I live and strive for the best

Because I have a family to support

And I can say, YES

They are my motivation in court

 

I try in every field to succeed 

Academic wise, sports, and maybe music and dance

I know that my chances are few

But whats a risk without taking a chance

 

To deepen the wound and discover more

You should know that am a Proud Tongan

My culture has built me up

So tearing me down is going to be a challenge

 

From the people I love

I've learnt that respect is the golden word

Love is what brings us together

And mistakes are why we are better

 

I've been exposed and know you know

Some of why I am who I am

Words are just words

But in my defense, it has revealed the true me
