I am not my parents shadow,
I am not the perfect child,
I am not the way I do my hair,
and I am not the music I hear.
I am not my friends,
I am not my shape,
I am not the classes I take,
I am not a rude person,
I am not the people I see,
and I am not the way I talk.
But I am the way I feel,
I am my own person,
I am misunderstood,
and I am the way I was raised.
I am taking my own path,
I am the way I walk,
I am the work I do,
and I am the effort I have.
I am the way I think,
and I am the person you see.
