I will be nothing except what I am.
I cannot give any more than I am prepared to.
I will not back down from truth because someone
else refuses to see what the truth is.
I will not dance around what I am to make someone else happy.
It is my life and I will live it according to what makes me happy and content.
I will not pretend to be what I am not. I wear no masks. I do not conform.
I have earned that right and I claim it above all else.
If I am not your cup of tea, I will understand if you walk away from me.
I finally know what being true to yourself means and I live it to the best of my ability.
I am not weak. I am strong but that doesn't make me wrong.
I will celebrate your life and try to lift you up
But it is up to you to fill your own cup.
Rev. Diannia Baty
