(#22) I am

I am who I am-

Who I write myself to be
Is who I will be,
How I present myself to the world
Is what makes me,
What I do with my life
Is what becomes my history.

There is no lying to yourself.
You know who you are best
And no matter what others think of you,
You will only be you.
You do not ever need to pretend to be
Someone you do not wish to be.

This is your arm,
With that comes your hands-
They will do only your will.
Nobody else will command them but you.

This is your brain,
With that comes your paradigms
And no one will alter or fix them
But only yourself.

These are your legs,
They will carry you down the path
You want to walk.
They will run only when you want to and
Rest only when you tell them to stop.

You are your own composite.
You are unique, there will be no competition
For the look-a-like.
You wear the face of God.

Nobody will put you down-
You are the sole owner of yourself.

Only because I am who I am,
I have the right to call myself an individual.


To all who need strength, take heart.
