I float between these two realms
Am I waiting today?
Am I doing today?

Whether I sit around
Or decide to take action
The mockery, the backlash
It's always just around the corner

I try to take control, make things happen
And it is why can't you just chill?

I try to be patient, step back and let destiny do its thing
And it is you can't expect something to happen when you do nothing

No matter what I do
I can't be the perfect middle you want me to be
Well guess what?

TODAY is the day I fight back
TODAY is the day that I refuse to back down
I will continue to be who I am
Because I am enough
Because who I am is powerful
And loving, and crazy, and just perfect

*For me
