I decide who I am.

I listen to your voice.

I listen to my own.

I measure and weigh

Each value.

I do not allow your words

To dictate to me

Who I am.

I decide who I am.

I decide who I want to be.

I recognize in myself

Qualities

Abilities

Flaws

And failings

I act accordingly

In acceptance

And to change me.

I do not COMPROMISE my SELF

Because I am many things

Good and bad

I am imperfect

And a work in progress

But also beautiful

Just as I am.
