Feel Like Me

Often unseen and overlooked but I see me, even though I'm rejected I know I'm majestic, I love myself so my heart is protected, I won't wallow or become dejected, I remain erected, my knees aren't shaking,can't break my stance,won't see me fall, I see me in my all, I embrace me ,I savor the taste of me, how foolish of another to find waste of me, to wander away so hastily, to view a disgrace of me, to chastise and hate on me, what a laugh ,such a gas ,think you can hurt me by casting me out , pushing me aside,in my own self vision I reside in a place of self recognition , don't care about your opinion, wasn't born to be your minion, in my heart your distaste leaves no incision, no marks, I love the skin in which I live, while you crawl in yours I dance in mine ,a feeling devine, what's a marvelous thing to be so wonderfully me, yes that feeling is free, I'm grounded in my roots,I stand strong like a tree, wouldn't you like to feel like me
