I will not live in fear
of losing what I keep inside my heart.
No matter where I go,
what language I speak,
whom I will meet.
I will not live in fear of losing myself.

That is the place I like the most.
There I will stay.

© Janell E., Westland, MI

The author's comments:
I wrote this poem after observing or witnessing the tragedies of many individuals who lose part of themselves as time goes by. This poem is a promise that I must not let this happen to me.

&lrm;&quot;I&rsquo;m learning how to drown out the constant noise that is such an inseparable part of my life. I don&rsquo;t have to prove anything to anyone. I only have to follow my heart and concentrate on what I want to say to the world: I run my world.&quot; - Beyonc&eacute;

I wish I've read this earlier. I think I already lost some parts of me. I wish you luck not to do the same.

It's hard taking the pieces together... :(
