If one day my shoelaces betray me,
and I fall down within the crowd
as they stare,and laugh
make fun of me,
I promise to stand up tie them
harder and keep on walking..
You know why?
Because it was MY fall..
I along with my ideologies my thoughts
my past my present my future
create who I am.
I alone..can choose what makes
me happy or what makes me sad
I conquer myself,I rule me.
I'm my own queen,
my own judge,
my own case
my own lawyer.
its only up to me to decide
All of which I will or will not follow
what builds me up and what tears me down..
I own my skin,my eyes,my senses.
What pleases my eyes,what doesn't.
Is my problem,my taste,my choice.
Who said i had to follow society?
No one has the right to mark me..
To force opinions like bread down my throat..
I am me.
Even if I don't fit in.
Even if I don't belong.
I am me!.
And no one has the right to decide upon me..
I have to say, my favorite part about this poem was the ending. I love how you summed this feeling up with saying you always have you - and that is the most important thing. You must love yourself..VERY strong ending.
I love the sense of self worth you have here. It's like you're saying "I am who I am, if you don't like it, tough!" It's a very strong and smart mentality!
