I Am Me

August 4, 2022

There’s so much about me to know All of it, I’m willing to show But you aren’t going to take the time to look Only flip through your outdated book trying to neatly categorize me all the while, refusing to recognize me to see what makes me truly unique because it’s so much easier to critique than to try to understand that I don’t follow your plan

There is so much more to me than you will ever see You can’t tie me down with chains and locks I don’t fit inside your box I need to spread my wings and fly free then everyone will know that I am me

You keep calling me names trying to make me feel ashamed forcing me to hide the real me deep inside But you’re not going to get to me I want everyone to get to see The beauty I have to share I know there are people who care I refuse to let myself feel terrible just because you can’t see what makes me special

There is so much more to me than your closed mind will ever be able to see you can’t cram me into your box and bury me underneath the rocks I’ll break out and fly away free then everyone will see that I am me
