A Promise to Myself

I am alone
I am better off this way
I am strong
I will go on my own way
I do not need someone else
To tell me who I am
I do not need someone else
So on my own I’ll stand
There are many who love me
And I adore them too
But I can live without them
Because I simply might have to
I control my own life
My future, present, past
I will succeed I will persist
I will be happy at last
