i refuse to hide
i refuse to be ashamed
i have to much pride
and i refuse to change
i like me
and im proud of me
so to hell with anyone
who tells me what to be


Its better to be hated for who you are than loved for who you are not

hey loved the poem..i can tell you are a very strong person..keep it up.

Now night arrives with her purple legions
Retire now to your tents & to your dreams
Tomorrow we enter the town of my birth
I want to be ready. - JM

that poem has a really strong feeling to it. i like it b/c it's forcefull and optimistic and individual.

"the reasonable person adapts themselves to the world. the unreasonable person tries to adapt the world to themselves. therefore all progress is made

I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust.
