What I Know Now

Standing out was something I never wanted to do.

Being different from the rest seemed so out of line at the time

I never wanted to try new things, going beyond what was expected

and not being accepted was the worst of fears.

Over the years, I've realized confining who I am and being uneasy in every

situation doesn't help at all, it just pushes me down further 'till I fall.

That's why I learned to stand tall and strong

No matter what, I will always believe in myself.

What I do with my life is absolutely up to me.

My happiness is happening because I choose to see the light in every situation and

I know I am a wonderful creation, I don't want to go wasting my time here so I'm making

the best of everyday. I maintain my peace by not worrying

about what others think of me because I know it's out of my control.

I know it's not important  to fill my mind with the idea that I should change.

It is not in my nature to make sure anyone is impressed with me.

As of right now, I vow to always express myself how and when

I want and never second guess myself.

At this moment, I know that my feelings and opinions matter

I won't have much of an impact on the world if I continue to hold them back.

I know I can excel at what I do in life, I will strive for the best and always have my eyes set

on the highest goals, because I know I can reach them.

I have the blessing of being able to show expression through my obsession,

it is the best when you invest in something you love, there's nothing left but

a feeling you can't explain.

Nothing else matters, nothing's as important than me knowing that

I do and I am.
