I am who I am

I am who I am
Don’t change me if you don’t like me
Don’t try nor waste your time
Because I am who I am.

I am who I am for a reason
I am not a follower
I am a leader
I don’t dress nor act the same
That’s because I am who I am.

I may be emotional
I may be protective
I may be overweight
I may not be a ladies man
I maybe different
But accept me for who I am
And not for who you want me to be.

I am not athletic
I am not popular
I am not a straight A student
But my friends and family
Accept me for who I am.

I will go out of my way to help you out
I will be here when you need to talk
I will be there if you just want to hang out
Because this is who I am

I like who I am
Because of the man who brought me up
As the man who I am today
Without him I would not be
Who I am today.

I thank my dad for a lot of things
He has taught me to be me
Don’t settle for who you want me to be
He has taught me to be the best that I can be
So please accept me for me
As God has made me how he wants me to be.

Its about allowing someone to be themself and not what someone else wants them to be
