I am...me.


I am...

What am I? 

Who am I? 

I am ugly

I am fat

I am cautious

I am casual

I am short-haired

I am brown eyed

But. 

I am me. 

 

I am not

I am not made up of those.

I am not made of what I look like

I am made of emotions

But. 

I am me.

 

I am what my personality has come to be

I am independent

I am smart

I am funny

I am emotional

I am corageous

I am motivating

I am and can be stretched for a million miles in a sea of awkward feelings!

But.

I am me.

 

I. am. me.

I am awkward.

I am selfish

I am unkind

 I am self righteous

But. 

I am me. 

 

I am who I say I am

I am who I lead myself to be

So why should anyone have any right to tell me different?! 

I am me.

That's what I'll always be.

Get used to it. 

I am me.
