 Being your-self
is not a proclamation
of innocence or guilt

It's just what is

You can never see your-self
as others do
or place faith in their  views 

nor live within boundaries
of their expectations 
the proclamation is

I am who I am

Celebrating resounding

Celebrating resounding individuality, and the courage to resist the pull of other's perceptions. Good piece.
