I am a work of art
One that is, like everyone,
Unique, different
My aura paints the canvas
In a dazzling display
Both spectacular and intimidating
No one can deny the excellence
But I'm not everyone's cup of tea
The colorblind can't see the beauty
Of colors beyond their spectrum
No pride in achievements easily won
No pride in making it through hard times
No pride in things that had to come or came easily
As in the universe, these feel meant to be
But taking control in the choices made
Standing up to those who caused pain
Boldly trusting myself and my emotional strength as
True bravery with acceptance of actions fueled by emotion, not denied
Sure doesn't come easily
All the more reason to be proud

People that can make you #doubt even yourself
Pose a risk to you at your core
Be proud to get away.
To have gotten away.
Even in the uncertainty,
Know that you knew yourself
Enough.
To get away

Do you #disapprove of all that is me?
Of all that I'm meant to be?
In my mind, you're off to the side
Off-beat and irrelevantly conniving
I do #disapprove of all that is you
You've kept me from who I'm meant to be
In your mind, I live rent free
Love that my personality fills you with anxiety
Mwah hahaha!

People ruled by contempt
Attempt to diminish my flame
Smothering with their hate
But still, I shine bright into the night
A #proud, effervescent sight
Despite their fight,
I always glow with all my might
Now karmic justice
When my light illuminates
All of their darkness
