Rebrith
I will no longer set complacent and silent
I will speak out and forge my own path
No longer will I please everyone if I can
I will be me and not what others want to see
I will not be swayed by others visions
I will stand ridged in my decisions
I will be generous
I will be me all the time
I will no longer allow people to shape me in their image
I will be the best me I can be
I will no longer hide parts of my personality
I will show it to everyone, not just some
I will wear as much black as I please
Be as sarcastic as I see appropriate
Listen to music that makes me feel alive
I will not allow anyone to bash my choices and make me feel worthless
Because I’m worth something
I will no longer run myself ragged filling someone else's demands
I will put me first not second
No longer will I be perfect for others
I will treat myself occasionally
I will think how I wish and not conform to others mind frame
I will be me all day every day for the rest of my life
This resolution I make that I will not break for the sake of being true to me.

I wrote this piece after trying to conform to families wishes and realizing I could only be me. I feel that this can be applied.
