Who we are
I mean who we truly are
Should never be
Dictated
By the way
Others see us
But rather by
The way
We see us
Haters will come
And haters
Will go
But it is
Up to us
How far
Their influence
Stays with us
And affects
Who we become
If we live
Our lives
Hell bent
On fitting in
With every hater
We see
Just for the sake
Of fitting in
We will never
Truly be free
Or truly find
Our purpose in life
Because if we do that
Then even our true self
Becomes to us
A stranger
And unjustly
Becomes
Our own
Enemy
And deny that it
Happens
All you want
But believe me
It is far more
Common
Than you think
So common infact
That it deeply
Sickens me
As it should also
Sicken you
So stand up
For yourself
Never deny
Your true self
Just for the
Benefit
Of someone else
Set yourself free
And when you look
In the mirror
Make sure you
Are always proud
Of who you see
Every once and a while we
Every once and a while we need to hear something like that or read
it... Thanks for the write and reminding me that I am grate
