I Am


I am what I am,

A human being, nothing more, nothing less.

I am limited by what I can,

And can't do. 

I may not look like much

And sometimes even less than what you expect,

But I am what I am.

A human being, with mistakes, and imperfections.

So I am not a good student.

I put things off, I don't show you that I work.

I look like I do not care about my future.

But behind you, when you are not looking,

I am doing things. I am searching for myself,

Imperfect as I am.

Because I am human.
