I am who I choose to be


I am my past

I have triumphed over obstacles 

I have been defeated by life

My experiences are my own 

But I have learned 

I am not who I was

 

I am my present 

I am judged by society 

I think about people around me 

My life is my design 

But society always defines it 

I am not who others think I am 

 

I am who I hope to be 

I dream of a better a life 

I hope to change the world

My fantasy is my own 

But I can always change it

I am not who I hope to be 

 

I am who I choose to be 

I am not who I was 

I am not who others think I am 

I am not who I hope to be

I decide who I am
