Notes About The Poem

Always be true to yourself. You are the most important person in your life.

Your worth is who you think you are
Not what other people see
Your worth is what's inside you
And the who you strive to be

Consider other's feelings
When you let your self worth out
Let others see the who you are
Let them see what you're about

Don't be concerned to show your worth
You have nothing there to fear
Be tempered by the ones you meet
As you grow from year to year

Choose what you will from others
Don't be swayed by all the rest
Choose your reactions wisely
When your worth's put to the test

For life is full of changes
Your worth is challenged every day
What is inside you is your worth
Not what other people say.

it should be an inherent right to live free and be what you choose to be...the biggest disaster in any relationship is when you decide what they should become, love, is all about supporting the dreams of the other....the opinions of others are just that an opinion...i have 2 morale boosters...Hold Your Head Up-Argent and Eye of the Tiger...tell the world stuff it

I was initially confused about you comment the I thought that you meant that every line is correct for a person's worth. If that is correct, thank you so much. If not, could you please explain what you mean. Thanks for reading nd commenting
