I Am Me


I am who I am

Because of you

You put me through hell

I came back better

You forced me to grow up

and care for my sister

So I grew up. . . 

Away from you

I am who I am

because of them

they raised me

they loved me

they allowed me to be a kid

I am who I am

because of me

I grew despite you

I found my way

and I will continue to do so

I am who I am

I am me
