The decision is mine

Bouncy, giggly, happy, these words once described me
The taunting words of classmates and peers brought me down
No longer would I talk to just anyone
Only being myself among friends
Without them I felt isolated and alone
The feeling of being missunderstood and not accepted overwhelmed me
Being mocked for my appearance made me lack confidence in myself
Now the decision is mine
I choose to become more confident and less self conscious
I've learned that it doesn't matter what others say
Because it doesn't affect your life or who you are
You're the only person who can write your destiny
Whether it will be good or bad
I've learned that Im only as good as I want to be
Not what others think I should be
