It doesn’t matter a toss
If people like you or not,
For there will be people who like you,
Maybe even love you,
And people who hate you
Through no fault of your own,
That is their path to follow.
So be who you want to be,
Do what you want to do,
Live and love with wild abandon,
Be free of the ties that bound you
And restricted you
And kept you playing small,
For you have need of them no more.
You are you,
A beautiful, compassionate, kind human being that has so much to give,
In spite of living a life of deprivation til now,
For what you give out, you receive,
And you deserve to shine,
Shine bright,
Faults and all,
For what defines you
Is the good you do unto others
