Reflect the right to be who you are... <br />With a declaration of independence, <br />Defended under the eyes of God! <br />Achieve your greatness. <br />Share and bring it out of others. <br />Expect it from yourself, <br />And everyone will respect you. <br />This is the process much neglected. <br />Unmask your heart from dreams sheltered! <br />Stand up and welcome them. <br />They did not appear in your mind... <br />Just to rest unrealized, <br />Criticized and left ignored. <br />And betrayed by dismissed wishes. <br />They need you to make them come true. <br />Make them flourish!<br /><br />Lawrence S. Pertillar<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/declaration-of-independence/
