Self-Proclaimed

Wreak havoc,

On the institution 

That tells you, you need them

Let them know,

You will be yourself,

Regardless of who you depend on

Declare yourself,

A beauty, a genius,

A protege, a star

Without their official recognition

Don't count on going far,

Without the authority's name,

Emblazoned across your chest

Know that you can do it,

With perseverance,

If you proclaim that you can

-Poem Fanatic
