Indomitable Spirit


If the clouds went away,
far away from me,
they would continue
to rain on my parade.

Nobody should march to
the beat of someone else's drum;
I will always be a
disappointment to somebody.

They come they go-
the compliments and sacrifice.
How inconsistent
they always are.

How can I firmly
establish my identity,
when my identity
is what they disapprove of?

  2. I really liked the line "No one should march to the beat of someone else's drum". But I know exactly how you feel here. I think everyone has at one point in their life had some aspect about them that was displeasing to others. But even though many may believe this, you must always remain strong and steadfast in the idea that who you are is not subject to disapproval from others. =) Smile hun.
