I Need To Poem by Aidan Kowe

Be true to myself,
To say no when I don't feel like it,
To state what I don't like,
To make my opinions heard,
To express my feelings,
To speak up my mind,
To be firm in my decisions.

I need to...
Admit that I'm wrong,
To stop from doing more harm... while I still can.

I wonder...
If I can do it.
Will I be able to?
Am I strong enough to do so?

Because...
It's hard,
When I have to make sure I don't hurt others,
To make sure all is well.

It's hard...
When I have to... please everyone.
