Inner Strength

There is no true freedom in considering someone else's thoughts of you
I walk my path alone as do they
But beware the sirens!
To stay afloat one must breathe in time
One must shine freely like the sun
Be strong & never inhibit your freedom by submitting to someone else's expectations
Be you or die!
