I hold my head high,

And stride strong.

I don’t look left or right,

I look long.

The times I questioned my pride,

Are long gone.

They couldn’t know where I’m coming from.

 

I wear a smile,

All day long.

I don’t frown or grown,

I hum a song.

The times I questioned my persona

Should have been none.

They couldn’t know where I’m coming from.

 

I ooze confidence,

in being me.

I don’t quiver or crawl,

I know I’m free.

The times I questioned my strength,

Are totally done.

They couldn’t know where I’m coming from.

 

I laugh out aloud,

joy be heard.

I don’t hold back or lack,

I precise each word.

The times I questioned my nature,

Were deliriously wrong.

They couldn’t know where I’m coming from.

 

I move with grace,

and gentle ease.

I don’t negate or debate,

With life I’m pleased.

The times I questioned my principles

Were cumbersome.

They couldn’t know where I’m coming from.

 

Just as where I’m heading does puzzle thee,

So you try to figure incessantly,

Such a simplicity,

As Me being proudly Me.

    • Thanks Mandy, I hope that the poem encourage others to find confidence within themselves. Most of us have change aspects of our character to please others and this always leads to frustration or dissatisfaction with ourselves. I’ve learnt to be good at being me rather than trying to be what others want me to be. It’s easier, strengthening and satisfying.

  5. Tanya – congratulations for that fine, emotional subtle poem!
    I just was walking through the streets and thinking of you after years -
    and found your words on that scene. . .

    hope you are fine, best wishes from Tobias,
    who met you a long time ago in the train,
    from Lausanne northwards,
    perhaps we meet again?
