I will truly accept myself today <br />No more worrying about what you say <br />I will do what I really want to do <br />No longer will I be controlled by you. <br /> <br />I will be more of the real me <br />You may just not like what you see <br />But to my own self I will be true <br />Whether or not it matters to you. <br /> <br />No more me saying yes to please <br />I will say the word no with ease <br />Too many times I let those others lead <br />That is not the way for me to succeed. <br /> <br />I will be who I am right now <br />And to your ways I will not bow <br />For I have ways of my own that work just fine <br />Because my life is not yours my life is mine. <br /> <br />I will truly accept myself today <br />No more worrying about what you say <br />I will do what I really want to do <br />No longer will I be controlled by you.<br /><br />Connie Webb<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/standing-up-for-myself/
