SistaKeeper Poetry for the Soul: One Thing I Know for Sure
The One Thing I Know for Sure
Some things change, but one thing stays the same
Your ability to think, which represents who you are.
Your style, your personality… are you funny, cool, athletic,
A poet, or a reader, quiet or shy?
One thing I do know is – you are you!
Nothing beats a failure, but a try!
That means you need not be afraid to take chances.
Being you is way cool,
You are a unique individual, and there is no other.
So listen to yourself…
What does peer pressure mean to you?
Are you independent? Do you listen to certain types of
music, wear certain types of clothes, walk a certain way?
Grab a piece of paper and define yourself today.
What is my style?
Who am I like?
Who do I want to be?
When you write your answers down you bring them into the present.
Look in the mirror and talk to yourself and define independence.
Know what you believe in saying to yourself the one thing I know for sure… is me!

Remember: The one thing I know for sure is I am Me!
