Some call it confidence.

Some call it arrogance.

Some think it's off-putting,

while still others think it's intriguing.

Many hear it, yet few understand it.

My personality fills me with joy while it seeks to destroy.

An internal battle constantly takes place, between voicing my opinion and staying in my space.

When I speak out in class my "friends" stifle laughs.

Yet when I speak out in church,

I receive praise for his inspired word.

Do I keep moving forward,

or take a step back?

Do I run away scared,

or stand ready for the attack?

While the world says no,

I SAY YES!

It's the human right to know,

and my job to intercede,

on behalf of those who have yet to be set free.
