I Stay Me

[bleedpurplegold]

As the times change and people rearrange
I stay me
As the wars begin and the relationships end
I stay me
As the alcohol flows and the drugs burn up
I stay me
As the deck gets shuffled and order is restored
I stay me
As memories fade and experiences are made
I stay me
As friends ebb and haters grow
I stay me

Who am I?

I stand for my friends
I never back down from my principles
I can't be bought
I enjoy all that life offers, good and bad
I don't say "fuck my life" because mine is better than most out there, even at its worst
I try to live as honestly and as simplistically as possible
I don't "need" anything
I love the skin I'm in
I value trust above all
I try my best to learn from every situation
I use that knowledge to make myself better
I stand for what I believe in

What do I believe in?

I believe that you never stop growing
I believe that anything can be fun
I believe that a hug can be more powerful than a kiss
I believe hate is a waste
I believe that there is a difference between a man and a gentleman, a woman and a lady
I believe that beauty starts with a smile
I believe no matter how much you spend on a friend, it will still be rewarding
I believe that happiness is the key to life
I believe that if you want something, you should go for it
I believe that, as the Beatles say, all you need is love
I believe in who I am
I believe in staying who I am
