I am responsible for my choices – good or bad
my body, my thoughts, my fantasies, my opinions, my actions
my decision.
my hopes and dreams, my fears and frights,
successes, failures, mistakes
MINE.
my choices are influenced by my past experiences
but I am responsible for my present state of being.
the wonderful and wicked,
superb and sublime.
I blame no one.
I did it.
the responsibility belongs to me
to God belongs the Victory.
I know me better than anyone else.
I have become intimately acquainted with me.
my best friend – me,
delighted with my own company – for a time.
I puzzle me; I intrigue me; I surprise me;
I astound me; I amaze me; and sometimes disappoint me;
I even frighten me.
on occasion, I crack me up.
and I’m still getting to know me –
discovering and redefining,
shifting, transitioning.
the me I know today
may not be the me I know tomorrow.
but she’ll still be me.
I have all that I need to accomplish all that I want.
surviving, being, living, encouraging, believing in,
accepting
me.
who I want to be, ultimately,
begins and ends with
me.
