Never apologize for who you are

for your sometimes incorrect English
you having to pay your way through Junior College
when all of friends went to top Universities with scholarships

Never apologize for who you are

for your bluntness
your teenage mother and your crack addicted father

Never apologize for who you are

You may never own a god damned thing in your life
and call yourself single for the rest of your life

Your clothes may not come from Saks Fith Avenue
and you may never own more than a pair of $40 shoes

Never apologize for who you are

For you not taking shit from anyone
and wanting to prove to those that yes, your intelligence measures up to theirs
and being wrong at times, but not wanting to admit it
for having a harsh tongue that is coated with so much love

For being goofy
and feeling awkward
and un pretty
and fat
and sensitive
and wanting to love
and wanting to be loved
and laughing when deep inside you want to cry
and
and
and.......

Never
Never
apologize
you
are
you
