I am not an anchor. I cannot let myself sink. I am not alone. I cannot shun the world. I will not be a hero. Though I need one to save me. I will get up on my own. Because it’s what I’ve always done. What I am is an individual. I cannot follow the new trends. But I can make my own. I cannot force anyone to like me. But I can make no one hate me. I am not I will never be weak. But I can And I will Be the one to stand my ground. I am not weak. I cannot back down. I am not strong. I cannot be defeated. I will not bow to your needs. Though a mountain doesn’t bow to the wind. I will never let your threats get to me. Because I am headstrong. What I am is an individual. I cannot think like everyone else. But I can think for my own good. I cannot force anyone to like me. But I can make no one hate me. I am not weak. I cannot back down. I am not strong. I cannot be defeated.

I Am Not
I am not an anchor. I cannot let myself sink. I am not alone. I cannot shun the world. I will not be a hero. Though I need one to save me. I will get up on my own. Because it’s what I’ve always done. What I am is an individual. I cannot follow the new trends. But I can make my own. I cannot force anyone to like me. But I can make no one hate me. I am not I will never be weak. But I can And I will Be the one to stand my ground. I am not weak. I cannot back down. I am not strong. I cannot be defeated. I will not bow to your needs. Though a mountain doesn’t bow to the wind. I will never let your threats get to me. Because I am headstrong. What I am is an individual. I cannot think like everyone else. But I can think for my own good. I cannot force anyone to like me. But I can make no one hate me. I am not weak. I cannot back down. I am not strong. I cannot be defeated.
