Because of Me!

Nobody should be less of a person for anyone else. Be all that you can be. You don’t need anyone’s permission. You were born to be great.

Once tolerant and subdued
I now ooze the power of myself
To stand up for and believe in me
No longer the gum under a shoe
Or the door mat to lay down
Allergic to the fake and the false
Proud to be me and to shine
No longer dimming my light
Because it intimidated or bothered you
Your approval is optional
My confidence is vital
My life no longer viable because of you
But rather because of me
