I Am What I Am


 

I am what I am

I am determined to get my way

I am strong and steadfast

I am the oldest sister who imposes the orders

So better listen up now

I can be a little ignorant or irked

I will be mad and mordant

When I see something I think is wrong

This is my rant and rave

I may be seeing this life in black and white

But I will be a ferocious fighter

Watch out for me coming

I am like the exploding fireworks in the night sky

I may not always seem like this, but I am

I am what I am

 

I am what I am

I am dedicated and dependable

I am a sister, daughter, friend

I am a fast flying talker

I am a dancer, violinist, tennis player, artist, forever student

I am focused and no nonsense kinda girl

I am American, Minnesotan, Norwegian

I am a 3.97 GPA

I am like the wild waves rushing past on the beach

I am a going places kid

I can almost see the top

I will keep keeping  on

I may not always seem like this, but I am

I am what I am

 

I am what I am

I am a soft and sweet side

I am comforting the toddler’s tears babysitting

I am the soft spoken girl

I am a listener who will lend an ear

I am the avid advice giver

I am gentle, pastel, dulcet

I am like frozen yogurt on a summer’s day

I may not always seem like this, but I am

I am what I am
