..... TODAY.....

 Don't tell me who you think I am, where I have been, what I have done, how I have become who I am today... don't tell me you understand but yet walk away... don't tell me how to stand Beneath Your Shadow and do as command... I coward no more my strengths are within... I have walked a thousand miles in this skin.. I've trusted those I should not have, I've allowed you to treat me like a mule... today I stand on my own two feet and find a way whatever it may take... today I take back my confidence and know that I am a creature of God and he would not have made me this way if he did not want me this way ...today I Cast Away Your slang and harsh words and educate myself on what the brave might say.. today I stand strong and pick myself up and move on ...today I know I have HOPE by my side and nothing can stop me now.... today....
