I Choose Me

I choose me, today and every day after
I choose to stand, in spite of you
In spite of how unworthy you make me feel
I choose to love me, to want me
I choose to live
I choose me, today and every day after

I choose me, now and forever
Me, because I am replaceable to everyone but me
Me, irrespective of deadlines and urgent messages
Me, because my dreams come first
I choose to thrive
I choose me, now and forever
