Happy to be Me

I stand alone,

For only I am to blame when things go wrong.

My mind is free,

Allowing my happiness to flourish and my problems to cease.

I walk so proud.

Without even uttering a word I am loud.

One could feel the strength in me,

The strength that envelopes my soul and sets my mind free.

I speak loud and clear.

The words that float off of my tongue cause even the strong to fear.

They fear my intensity.

I am as fierce as a lion, but my voice is soft and sweet.

Who am I? All want to know

For they are intrigued by the light that makes my soul glow.

Ladies wish to be like me.

They hate, yet imitate all the things that are supreme about me.

Fellas yearn to touch me.

Never realizing if they touch me today, tomorrow they will love me.

I just can not explain.

There is something in how I say my name that drives men insane.

Women envy me.

Trying hard to understand how a man could be so into me.

I'll say it again, I stand alone.

My pride, my courage, my acceptance of who I am makes me strong.

I keep my mind free.

I welcome any challenge and value all opportunities.

I am just happy to be me.

I am secure with who I am and I am not afraid to succeed.

Material things just don't interest me.

I am just happy to be me.

I am just happy to be me.
