The Power of Confidence
June 16, 2012
I keep my chin held up high
Despite people giving me the evil eye
I walk past a teasing crowd
Saying how weird I am out loud
Without a single hint of despair
I walk by without a single care
I was criticized about how I dress
But I know I am the only person I want to impress
I am confident
I am strong
I do not care where I belong
No one can tell me who I should be
Because I can only be me

So, what will it be?"- Daniel Mathia <br /> <br /> "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."-Daniel Mathia <br /> <br /> “Why change yourself when you were made perfect and wonderfully by the creator of everything?” – Daniel Mathia <br /> <br /> “If live is not hurtin then were really not living in.” – B.
