True to Me


Confident.

Determined.

Unshakable.

Beyond the image the world sees

Those closest know who I am

I do not bend to other's will

I do not compromise

What is right is right

What I know will stand

Without any thought of changing

 

I am my own in charge

I follow my own heart

I speak of the world as it is

Not as others want it to be.

For all I hold to though

For all I won't give up

I still reach out to those around me

Kind.

Loving.

Concerned.
