Look into my eyes and see
that even though, at times,
I'm weak
there is a strength inside of me
that is not fate or destiny
it is who I choose to be
I walk my path instinctively

Like a warrior with no retreat
who shall not bend or break
or flee
there is a strength inside of me
that faces all odds fearlessly
it is who I choose to be
I rise from shadow of uncertainty

Sometimes I may be heavenly
or the halo may slip
temporarily
there is a strength inside of me
that sparkles like a personal marquee
it is who I choose to be
I move forward unscathed by past debris

So much more than name decrees,
I am the one who stands in flames
courageously
there is a strength inside of me
that nothing or no one can disease
it is who I choose to be
I embody the word, "confidently"
