Me and only me

If people are dismissive,
Let them be
I am who I am
And I am proud of me.

If they do not see my point
It's their loss, not mine
Everyone has their own truth
Mine's just hard to find.

If they think I am rude
They can hold that thought
The people who care
Know what all I've got.

If they think they can run me over.
Because I am quiet as a tomb
They do not see the phoenix
Rising in my womb.

I searched for many years
For that someone who would always be.
After many an attempt I realize
It is me and only me.
