I Am...


I am not as I appear nor who you think I am,

I am not my own conclusion, I am not an exam,

I am not my own disguise nor just merely looks,

I am not my intelligence, I am not a list of books,

I am not my friends nor am I my place,

I am not my family, I am not my race,

I am not my religion, I am not my own kind,

I am not my country, I am not just a mind,

I am not my involvement nor am I my title,

I am not my hopes and dreams, I am not my idol,

I am not my morals nor my own free will,

I am not my experience, I am not my skill

No matter what others think or try to label me as,

I will always and forever be simply who I am
