I am Me


I am me

A tint will not change my color

Contrast will not make me thin

An angle will not make me taller

Because I am me

And a camera does not dictate what that is.

 

I am me

Which is more than tan skin

Which is more than soft hair

Which is more than nice legs

Because I am me

And my looks do not dictate what this is.

 

I am me

I am a fierce brain

I am a strong soul

I am a confident woman

Because that is what I choose to be
