I'M RARE

So rare, not because I am perfect,

But known as I know my value,

I have dreams in my heart—

And stories that can't be told.

I am like the precious stone

Formed under stress, time and suffering,

Each scar I've got has made me stronger,

Each defeat has been a learning opportunity.

I don't have to go along with the mob,

Or be what others want to see or pretend to be,

On my way I walk with assurance,

Because I know that I am called to be.

I’m unusual, I love so much,

Rare in how I am cared for,Rare in how I love,

Not all I have may be,

I have a heart that dares, though.

If life is tough and hard,

I get on my feet, I get up again,

Yet with greater courage I rise,

But I am not going to lose everything!

I don't need to be compared to anyone else,

It's not my journey,

I rejoice in their successes,

As I'm building up my strength.

I'm unusual because I continue to believe,

Even if the way is not clear,Even if the road is not clear,

I know that brighter days are near,

I will not be afraid to live in fear.

So let me walk in my own light,

Let me be all that I can be,

For there is only one of me

That's why I am "the rarest of my kind.
