"I will be."

"I will be."

by:

Virgilio F. De leon Jr.MD

I

I am tired of being sorry

for things that I should not be.

I thought about your judgements

but guess what? I am free.

II

I don't give a damn about what you think

and I can't wait for you to grow up.

You can't go wallowing like a child

In the times that you need to man up.

III

I will not be sorry

for the things that I needed to do.

Times were impossible and destiny ,

well she wasn't calling you.

IV

So I took all the hits

lost sleep , lost money , lost time

You said I had a choice

but that was never ever mine.

V

And I am still here

Unbowed by that idiotic gaze

Angry , Doubt and Fear

That was never ever my place.

VI

So I will not be tired

and I will be who I have always been.

The Champion chosen

long before you were even here.
