Brazen sometimes. <br />Accountable all times. <br />But you will never find me, <br />Absent from my mission! <br />And that has been defined. <br />So there is no need for you to help me, <br />Find my way. <br />Just get out of it! <br />My way is mine! <br />No wishes do I have to be escorted. <br />I have found what feeds my appetite. <br />After spending countless sleepless nights... <br />With discouragements and disappointments, <br />I have overcome. <br />If you must think of me as being harsh... <br />A little heated with a bit of a peppered tongue? <br />Do it! <br />I will never show you shallowness. <br />I am not that one! <br />I know what I need, <br />For me to get what needs done! <br />Think of me as you will. <br />Whatever it is you may see in me... <br />It's me! Who I am! <br />I'm moving forward... <br />Not to backtrack! <br />This path I walk! <br />And I will do that... <br />Brazen in the Sun!<br /><br />Lawrence S.
