Genuinely Me

I want to open my eyes and embrace the new day..
Not a worry in the world for whatever comes my way.
Just take everything in my stride and meet it head-on..
There's nothing to fix because nothing was ever wrong.

I don't care for judgement of what other's may think..
But if you catch me in passing I may give you a wink.
Status, opinions, the wealthy and poor..
Unless you're sincere then don't knock on my door.

I'm a great listener and always a good friend..
I will tell you how it is and I wont pretend.
I'm no one special and don't claim to be..
But I'm honest, I'm loyal and genuinely me.
