I am me!

Even though you hit and abuse me

Even when you call me names

I am me!

Even though your world tortures me

Even when your world calls me unfit to live

I am me!

When the pressure of social order comes down

When you use me to get back at your ex

I stand tall and say, “I am me!”

Who are you to tell me to conform to the norm

Who are you to tell me what I think and feel

I look into your evil eyes and repeat, “I am me!”

Even “Death” is afraid of me

The “Darkness” splits apart to shine light on me

I take my last breath and yell at the top of my lungs, “I AM ME!!

So step back and listen to my heartbeat “Thump, thump, thump”

Now you know that I wasn’t that bump on a log

I look into space and see billions upon billions of lives lookin’ down on me and

I turn my head up high and turn my palms to the sky and fall down on “Mother Earth”

and one last time repeat my life long phrase… I am me!
