I Am Not


I am a man

I am not a man

I am whatever I say I am

I am not whatever you say I am

I am not just a man

I am not just myself

I am not just a student

I am not 'just' anything

I am man

Man is more than 'just'

Man is great

I am a great

I am not one who allows others to think they are 'just'

You are not 'just' anything

I am to you what you are to me

Priceless
