Who am I?


I am determined to decide my own fate

To change the worlds hate

I am the one to bring light

In a world that is covered by a deceitful night

I am one who will defy my own self

Not to be told who I am who I should be; by anyone else

I am the struggle I face 

Telling myself doubts through others hate

I am the only one who picked myself up

I am the one who will change it all

I am the one determined to decide my own fate.
