True To Myself

I've never been one to follow others like sheep I'm not afraid to stand up for what I believe Not loved by everyone but I strive for goodness truth and peace I fight against injustice and provide a voice for those who cannot speak A protector of the victimised and the weak I may at times swim against the tide for what I know is right I often make mistakes but my conscience is clear when I go to bed at night Don't judge me if you don't know me I'm not going to change for anyone but God There's much more to me than you can see But what ever I am I try to be anyone else But Me.

Peter What an honest and sincere write. Gives the reader a lesson on being themselves and not what others in society what you to be. People should respect others for who they are, and not try to change them. Great write

Thank you so much Robin. I was not trying to make out, I was something special I'm not. I wrote because just as you say,people tried to tell me what to do.I don'y mind advice,and to some extent, I'm willing to change, but perfect or no, don't bring me down. Thank you so much. take good care. best wishes. Pete.
