Headstrong

Stronghold 1989 (Greensboro)



Head held high with a fiery gaze,
I am headstrong, in every single way.
Determination fuels my every step,
My spirit unbreakable, my will unkept.
Like a warrior, I march on,
Challenging the world, my fears be gone.
With a fearless heart and a fierce mind,
I am the master of my own kind.
The winds may blow and the storms may rage,
But my headstrong spirit, will never age.
With every hurdle, I only grow stronger,
For my strength lies within, and it can never falter.
I am not defined by the limits set,
For I am headstrong, with no regrets.
My dreams are vast, my goals are high,
And I will reach them, with my head held high.
With every step, I break the norms,
For I am not bound by societal forms.
My uniqueness shines, like a beacon of light,
Guiding me through, the darkest of nights.
I am not afraid to stand alone,
For my headstrong spirit, is my own.
I am the captain of my own ship,
With unwavering determination, I take the dip.
My mind is a fortress, steadfast and strong,
With unwavering courage, I can never go wrong.
I am not afraid to speak my truth,
For I am fearless, in my headstrong pursuit.
My heart beats with a rebel drum,
Marching to the beat, of my own strum.
For I am not a follower, but a leader in my own right,
And my headstrong spirit, will shine bright.
I refuse to be tamed, to be put in a box,
For my headstrong soul, cannot be locked.
I am wild and free, with a spirit untamed,
And my headstrong nature, will never be tamed.
With every challenge, I rise above,
For my headstrong spirit, is made of love.
Love for myself, love for this life,
And nothing can stop me, from reaching new heights.
I am not afraid to take risks,
For I am headstrong, with an unbreakable fist.
My determination knows no bounds,
And my headstrong soul, will always be found.
So let the world try to tame me,
But my headstrong spirit, will always be free.
For I am a force to be reckoned with,
And my headstrong nature, will never be diminished.
In the face of adversity, I only grow bolder,
For my headstrong spirit, is like a soldier.
With every battle, I emerge victorious,
For my headstrong nature, is always glorious.
So let the world hear my roar,
For I am headstrong, forevermore.
My spirit will never be contained,
For my headstrong nature, will always remain.
In a sea of conformity, I stand out,
For my headstrong spirit, knows no doubt.
I am headstrong, and I'll always be,
For that's the essence, of my true identity.
So here I stand, head held high,
With a headstrong spirit, that will never die.
For I am the embodiment, of strength and might,
And my headstrong nature, will always shine bright.
