Let no man dictate your worth.
I am human and so are you.
I err and make choices and hold beliefs,
Many of which may not be in line with yours.
But I am a free human accountable to only one.
And unless you own me, you have no hold of me.
Other than Him, I was born liable to none.
So take your sharp tongue,
And let none of your blades pierce my skin.
For I am free and independent,
Bold and not beholden.
