IT COMES WITH A PRICE
I have always stood up for
Myself and my beliefs.
I can be your enemy,
Or we can be thick as thieves.
I speak what is on my mind,
I do things my way.
Rarely am I quiet or shy,
I have things to say.
I will not compromise things
Close to my heart.
I will fess-up, I will
Own my part.
I won't be pushed around,
Or change my mind.
I'm committed and
Loyal to the ties that bind.
I have a lot of energy,
It's hard to douse my flame.
I'm almost sixty,
Still in the game.
I face things head-on,
Won't run and hide.
Face to face,
Our worlds collide.
I always try to
Play nice.
Either way, it comes
With a price.
