Core of Me


Identity

Who I am

This is who I am 

And you shall not take it from me

My sense of who is Me

And what I is and is not 

Look

This is who I am

This is the core of me

What I cannot live without

And what no one will deny me

So I chose this

For who I am

And what I have not forgotten

True or a lie

I chose this

Over anything

Who I am is most importent to me

To live without such a thing

Would not be living at all

And fall I would without it

With it I am me

Who ever I am

And whatever I might do

I am still me 

And this is far more precious

Then anything

This core of me
