Everything that makes me.
Everything that makes me.
Everything that people see.
Everything that people don’t .
Is what makes me the person I am
People can spit
People can bite
People can tease
Everything that hurts me
Everything that tears me down
Everything that makes me doubt
Is what makes me the person I am
People can change you.
People can challenge you.
People can take you as you are.
I am not a cartoon character
In a book of rhymes
I am a person who is running out of time
In a world of yes
In a world of no
I am who I want to be
Everything that makes me.
Everything that I dream to be.
Is what makes me the person I want to be
Not my parents
Not my face
But what is inside the rest
My heart is tainted, but my will is strong
The box that held me in is gone
I am different
But that's okay
I decide how I write my story anyway
I am free to be who I want to be
That is what makes me, me.
