I Stand Alone

I will own the truth without disguise,

The mirror never tells me lies.

I stand alone, and that is my choice,

Peace is louder than a crowded voice.

I won’t beg footsteps not meant to stay,

Nor chase the wind that drifts away.

My heart is stubborn, fierce, untamed,

No need for guilt, I won’t be blamed.

I love my silence, I love my space,

Not every hand deserves a place.

Text replies may fade, delay,

Perhaps I will answer, another day.

So let the world call me the flaw,

I stand by self, with no withdraw.

For if I am single, let it be clear,

I will still love me, this time, this year.

P.S. For a love that is fierce and untamed, your lips deserve to feel just as bold and beautiful.

Give them the gentle care they deserve with Forever Living's Aloe Lips with Jojoba for a soft, smooth kiss of moisture.
