I understand you as no other do, because I am you... <br /> <br />I learned of your strengths but couldn't turn a blind eye to your weaknesses <br /> <br />I awoke with the energy of the sun, providing life to anything I touch <br /> <br />I faced you one-on-one, Looked into your heart and loved you very much <br /> <br />and everyone of those who don't see this, will never quite understand <br /> <br />the person you really are, you can be as dark as the night but shine luminously like the stars <br /> <br />I'm the image you project, I receive unwarranted love and respect <br /> <br />But I face troubles and rebound with a resilient heart <br /> <br />I look at myself and know i'm the state of the art <br /> <br />Though i've gotten imperfections, i've accepted my flaws <br /> <br />I know of my direction, and at no time will i withdraw <br /> <br />I'm critical of others as well as myself, <br />this is what I pride oneself<br /><br />Marcquiese Burrell<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/lions-pride/
