Rather Than

 I’ll stand my ground, I’ll think out loud. Embracing the chance for true freedom. In the center of my truth, I’ll always be myself.

In the quiet moments,

 when choices arise,

I weigh my values & beliefs.

Leverage the different viewpoints.

Do I follow the path that others have laid,

Or discover my own trajectory to -

grow, instead?


Rather than fade into the crowd,

I’ll stand my ground, 

I’ll think out loud,

Embracing the chance for true freedom,

In the center of my truth, 

I’ll always be myself.


Paths may diverge, 

and the road may be long,

But I’ll trust my spirit, 

I’ll find where I belong,

In the echoes of doubt, 

I’ll still listen to the call,

With every step forward, 

I’ll keep it solid enough.


So let the world spin, 

let the voices be clarified,

In the flow of my passion, 

I’ll make a splash.

With value as my guide, 

I’ll pursue the truth.

In the journey of innovation, 

I’ll try my best.



So here I am, 

with fist in my hand,

Choosing my destiny, 

I’ll take a stand.

For rather than follow, 

I’ll light my own way,

In the world of differences,

I’ll influence forward.
