I have two hands to stretch out wide.

I'll go where my feet take me;

I won't cower or hide.

Look at my face,

my eyes are shining and bright.

I wear adornments and my hair is in place.

Each breath I take is quiet,

unless I force it out with a hiss.

and the pulsing of my heart I can feel in my fist.

I'm alive! I am who I say.

No one can change me,

and I will rejoice in each new day.

But what really defines me,

what captures my essence...

is my true character, for all the world to see.
