Decidedly independent
emboldened by choice
free from convention
intensely passionate
allows room for growth
needs no excuses
clarifies individuality
exudes confidence

institutes thought
seeks no approval

instead demands conversation
nestled between frustration

tenacious in belief
heady with power
earnest in effort

endurance, the key
yowls when necessary             
enlightenment...perhaps

obstinate to be sure
forging a new path

towering above
heads and hearts
exacting goals

bravado, a tool
evolving, a gain
heuristic, a method
order, a necessity
learned, a possibility
defiance
evaluative
reason
