I am who I am and no one can change me.

I wonder what comes after death.

I hear footstep when I fall asleep.

I am who I am and no one can change me.

I pretend to be okay when I'm really not.

I try to love everyone, no matter how hard it is.

I see God everywhere.

I know he loves me and everyone.

I say love is real and I believe it,

I dream of a world with no war.

I try to make a difference.

I am who I am so don't try to change me.

&quot;I would rather hated million times for what i did then loved a million times for what i didn&#039;t do.&quot; - Daniel Moto<br /> &quot; I&#039;ve sought out to be the best i could posibly be but when i hit a roadblock in life what did i do, i had two choices either stay at the roadblock or i take this roadblock and make of it and go around it and achieve my goal. So, what will it be?&quot;- Daniel Mathia <br /> <br /> &quot;People take love like its a four letter word or just a phrase that you tell people or your friends all the time. But in reality love is much bigger than a merely phrase or 4 letter word. Instead love is a genuine promise or covenant to that special person.&quot;-Daniel Mathia <br /> <br /> &ldquo;Why change yourself when you were made perfect and wonderfully by the creator of everything?&rdquo; &ndash; Daniel Mathia <br /> <br /> &ldquo;If live is not hurtin then were really not living in.&rdquo; &ndash; B. Reith

Kiry.....Like I said your an awesome poet. This poem is by far my favorite. Why? Because you talk about how you wouldn't let people change you. Your you only. The line I love everyone no matter how hard it is. Is my motto. Suggestion: I challenge you to come up with more reason.

I really love this, it helps to describe yourself in a way you can't describe yourself to everyone. It's deep but it's not too long, I really like it!
