I have found my place...

I have found my place,
I have taken my stand.
I know what I want
I know who I am.

I have had my falls
I'm glad I survived
Nearly died a few times
But something in me thrived.

I have fought my battles
I have won some too.
The losses are many.
But the guilts are few.

I have loved my people
I still love them all
I know that they'll pick me up
and make me stand tall.

I've created my own niche
And bedizenned it with love
with jewels from the past
And the dreams my life is made of.
