WHO I AM…


WHO I AM…

Who are you to tell me… Who I am

Who I am… is a boy overlooked by society

I am a difference making, someone to love but fear that’s… Who I am

Who I am… just happens to be what you cannot be

You look at me, you judge me, but you fail to know… Who I am

Who I am… I am a solid young man, dedicated and willful

You falsify stories and act as if I’m someone else you ignore… Who I am

Who I am… I am someone with a prosperous future, I will be somebody!

I don’t know what I will be, but I know… Who I am

Who I am… will never be what you are

You are someone who has tried to drag me down for… Who I am

Who I am… Is someone often opposed and strived to be like

I am not egotistical, but I know what has been said, do not degrade… Who I am

Who I am… Is one not easily defeated

Once you truly see… Who I am

Who I am… Will not be easily overlooked

But you must know who you are to really know… Who I am

Who I am… Otherwise will change who you are

For a strong personality is… Who I am

Who I am… Is not easily described by words, but

No one will ever be me, especially… Who I am

Who I am… Is me

Be who you are, and never… Who I am
