COS I KNOW

I hold my head up high cos I know

Yeah I hear the whispers. I see the mean stares

Your smile is so tight. You are really terrible at faking it.

You didn’t have to turn your back to roll your eyes; I saw it coming

I hold my head up high cos I know

I know what I want and don’t settle for less

I don’t rush it to beat others and end up stumbling on the way

You don’t like that I am comfortable in my own skin cos you aren’t in yours

I hold my head up high cos I know

That my mistakes don’t define me they only make me better

You talk about them and dwell on them, wasting your time

You make all sorts of jokes about em while I move on,

 I hear you sniggering

Yet I hold my head up high cos I know

That you hate me for pushing you

For making you leave your comfort zone

You felt humiliated, strained and naked

But to achieve greatness you have to go through these

I hold my head up high cos I know

That you believe you can only make it by working against me

Or without my knowledge

If only you knew the greatness that could be achieved together

I hold my head up high cos I know

That being different is a success on its own

I offered that you be different with me

But you were scared and instead of saying so,

You turned it to hate

I hold my head up high because I know

I know that I still love you all regardless

My motivation is love and in me dwells a well full of it

But in loving others, I love myself the most

And I know you know this

Do you know now why I hold my head up high?
