  4. I am who I am.

I am who I am.

August 6, 2011

I am who I am.
At least,
I try to be.
I’m still finding out what it means to be me,
It’s not that easy.

I am who I am.
Not super sweet,
Awkward and shy,
Loud and fat.
Which side is real?

I am who I am.
Not who you want me to be.
You want her?
Go get her,
I can’t act like that,
It’s not me.

I am who I am.
Not yet who I want to be.
Keeping some of the old me,
Eventually I’ll know the whole me.
But for now,
I’ll be who I am,
It’s all I can be.
