One and Only


Authenticity, loyalty, and honesty... In all simplicity, that's me.

Why would I be a faux ami, if the greatest thing for me is being who I am?

Authenticity carries a responsibility that cannot be placed on anyone besides me.

Why should I give my accomplishments to others who aren't as authentic as I am?

I strive and survive, day by day, to be at the point at which you see.

And being authentic is the sole reason I am where I stand.

 

Nothing anyone says will deter me from my path.

There's nothing ahead, besides my goals.

Nothing anyone does will remove me from my path.

There will never come a time when I let something hinder me from my goal. 

And continuing on in authenticity will pave the way for my success in what has yet come to pass.

 

By knowing who I am, there would be no doubts in these uttered words. 

Authenticity at it's utmost finest is what you shall always find in me.

By knowing what I stand for, it is indubitable that you would find true meaning.

Authenticity at its pinnacle is where you shall always find me.

As for I, the One and Only, shall prosper by only being me.

<p>Authenticity is what I live for, and d it I means, to me, being who you are without letting judgement, or actions of others change who you are. Always continue to be your individual self, regardless of pressure, and seek your dreams and vast potential. Continue to be you, and only you.</p>
