Self-Reliant
I may have been a hypocrite,
But at least when it came
To my closest friends I gave a .
I may be fat,
But at least physically
I’m way tougher than that!
I may have been insecure,
But at least within
I can always reassure myself alone.
I may not be that great a scholarly writer,
But at least I choose
To never conform to standards, I’m a fighter!
I may have been always lonely,
But at least I have
Gained a sense of inner identity!
