Those that really know me look inside to see
Only then can one truly appreciate my spirit free
I possess a soul so tender and sensitive
Hidden a powerful love I do not freely give
My friendship is solid like a bar of gold
A deep loyalty one can genuinely behold
While regenerating a healing heart 
I am optimistic for the most part
Once again I wish to trust
Even though at times life seems so unjust
With a strong symbolic nature 
I really am just a gentle creature
Moments in time I choose to symbolise
In the future maybe others will realise
Through all the emotions I felt it all 
Still day after day I did not fall
On many occasion it seemed so hard
As time goes by I’m learning to lower my guard
I wear a symbol on my shoulder
Forever to remember even when I am older
Determined for my focus to remain clear
Keeping my own needs in vision I must persevere
Mindful not to stress over what is out of my control 
While doing my best for my son by setting a positive role
My beautiful boy is my drive he is my real
Conscious of my every emotion not to conceal
I understand my actions will effect his personal growth
From the day he was born to guide I made an oath
Much like me he bears a symbolic personality
While oozing copious amounts of originality
Symbolising my life in time
Finding it a breeze to speak in rhyme
I have a goal to find and express my feelings true
To finally bid my tough persona adieu
Some day soon this goal I will reach
Getting in touch with my feelings expressed through speech
