No Apologies

No Apologies

Say what you want about me,
They are only words,
I am who I am
No apologies

I may be different than you,
Look different,
Think differently,
No apologies.

Our beliefs may differ,
Thoughts wander different paths,
Yet we can find common ground,
No apologies.

I don’t ask you to believe
Everything I say, think, or feel,
Just to see me,
No apologies.

There are no incriminations,
No saying you are wrong,
Just saying I am me,
No apologies.

You may listen to others,
Put me down for being me,
Telling stories you may believe,
No apologies.

Just listen to your heart,
You know who I am,
You know me,
No apologies.
