Who You Are

Amanda Blair 1983 (CT)



Who You Are

In a world full of hate, just a click to rate, opinions negate...
Nothing more than you ate, media to bait, the person that you date..makes you who you are.

Confused out the gate, you're in a mental state, show up early, "you couldn't wait", not ready then you're "too late", trying to decide your fate and... who you are!

Too different to relate, you suffocate, trying to create turns into a debate, speak your views and detonate..you lost who you are

So regardless...turn anxiety to meditate, calmness to reinstate, joy to resonate, love to emulate, be kind and not hesitate, leave them speechless with a "check-mate"...because of who you are.
