I am not, but I am


I am not what people think defines me

I am who I am

I am not defined by my weight, 

I am not my GPA,

I am not my SAT scores,

And I am not what society has created of me.

 

But, I am beautiful

I am strong

I am a singer, and I am an actress

I am the dork at four a.m.,

The one who calls you to get ice cream

I am who I say I am

I am not what society says I am

I am me, and there's no one else I would rather be.
