My Independence

My place is where I stand,one, there nothing wrong with me. I like who I am, two, not who you want me to be.

My self is, who I'm most interested in. I only think from what comes from within

I choose my path and I choose my fate.  No going to waste what was worth the wait.

I'm not going to be broken, I'll stand up till the end. Stand with or stand against. Be a stranger or be a friend

You do you, and I'll do me.  I'm not interested in the way you see.

Know one thing, I hold my own. I'm not letting any one choose my road

I can do it for my self.  I'll do it for me and my family, no one else.

Get in my way, its not hard to forget. But you'll end up dealing with your own regret.

Now my words are clear.  And word is fair.  Stand with me here or get lost, I sure don't care

This I me, and my path, your neither my mom nor my dad.

With this now, with what's being said. I'll be loyal, to the day I'm dead

Dont take me for granted, before you act you better think, I'm the farthest from ever being weak

Thanks for listening, now have a good day.  Just a helpful reminder, to stay out of my way.
