SistaKeeper Poetry for the Soul: I Stands for Me

I Stand for Me!


Some people may say you’re selfish, stubborn or bullheaded, but what you want them to know is; you’re none of the above, you’re just independent! What does independent mean, they say? Independent means…


I stand for me!


Allowing you to define me limits my mind so…


I stand for me!


Holding my words is like holding my breath and I need to speak so…


I stand for me!


Honoring the truth is to live for life and I choose to live my life so…


I stand for me!


You don’t tell me what you think I should do with my life and how you think I should feel or define myself, or how you think I should think or act.


You cannot control my life; I am not what you perceive, but what I believe. You see, my spirit leads me and you will appreciate me and respect me.


I will stand with integrity because I love me unconditionally and no matter who tries to break my fall, it is impossible, because I am independent and above all…


I stand for me!
