Honor of Myself

My life begins with a string of unique genetic codes, which keep a little note;
How long I live, I may not know,
But just for me, my life span is set already.
I am nobody but myself.

Being alive is a common road.
Though there are many diverged ways to take,
Everyone has his own path,
And I have mine.
I am nobody but myself.

To well match to my life challenges I face,
I acknowledge the distinguished abilities I have:
My great determination is my basic force,
My temperament is my reliable strategy,
My fear is my meanest enemy,
My mistakes are my outstanding teachers,
My perseverance is my strongest strength,
My honesty is my true friend,
My intelligence is my trusted extrapolator,
My self-control is my immense power,
My knowledge is my loyal torch.
Through my experience and hardships,
Moment by moment I have developed.
Now I can treat triumph and disaster as the same imposters.
I am nobody but myself.

I live, I learn.
Love and be loved.
I am not perfect;
I am not the best of the best.
Nevertheless, I am proud to be me.
I am nobody but myself.
