Why did you write your song? I've gotten into playing music mainly to express my feelings, and I have a sweet spot for songs about self-love like "Born This Way" by Lady Gaga and GLOA by Whitney Houston, so I felt the need to take a shot at it myself.  I want this song to empower me to always love myself and live my life in a way that ultimately satisfies me, regardless of what others may think.
What are your aims for your song?  Personal pleasure
What aspects of your song are you looking for comments about?  Lyric suggestions, lyric flow, what key you're imagining this song in (No concrete decision yet, but right now I'm hearing B major), if the chorus lyrics are stronger than the verse lyrics (which, needless to say, I want them to be), anything else that comes to your mind that I didn't mention here.

-Verse 1-

People will talk
No matter what
It's what they do
But he has his pendant
Secure and at peace he'll feel
When he reaches for it
It crafts him to sing of love and assurance


-Chorus-

It's a little reminder
Filled to burst with meaning
The embodiment of love
Of respect
Of a life well lived
His pink pendant
Has a power
Full of pure, raw love
You will be held safe and dear

-Verse 2-

People will talk
No matter what
It's what they do
Wearing his pendant
He finds his way
Makes him brave in the face of them all
Able to live in peace

-Bridge-

You mean so much to him
He sees a capacity for love
A room for bravery
Good people out there
Smiling with him
Never forsake yourself
He was born this way
He'll look back one day
With no regrets (x4)

-Climatic Chorus-

*Chorus*
People will talk
It's what they do (x8)

A strong message. I like how the climatic chorus is repeated, it gives me the impression it'll have a rousing finish. The lyric flow is punchy.

You can definitely feel the passion and the strength in the words. It also flows well. I would say that the chorus and bridge lyrics are stronger than the verses. I wouldn't say that there is any one particular line that I would change, so overall, this is pretty good. I really like the climatic chorus, I can imagine it fading out at the end.
