All that matters

by Jay Colon   Aug 2, 2014


I was told I wouldn't make it
You go out there they'll eat you alive
It's a hard life
Things wont be handed to you
Questioning me
Do you think you'll get somewhere with that attitude?
My attitude depends on the person
Telling me i wont get anywhere in life
Demanding for me to change
Society trying to mold me into someone they want me to be
Can't accept that I am a woman
A woman who dates women
A woman who wears men clothes
Instead of dresses
Only if they knew
Their perspective of me
Is the only thing they have of me
They can't tell me nothing
I know my flaws
I don't care what anyone thinks
I know who I am
And that is where my happiness lies
I love me
I accept me
Only I can make myself happy
I am my happiness
That's all that matters to ME

    I really love and admire this write Jay!

    It's powerful and explosive along with a positive attitude... The message is inspiring- Be who you are and don't worry what others think.. In life we will fall into darkness if we follow the crowd and be what others want us to be, that's no way to live!

    wonderful piece you have penned today!
