I'm just me

I've drawn on my own experiences
I have had my share of dramas
Things too painful to recall
Others I have laught till i have cried

I've felt loved and hurt
Also learnt about life
Stuck my finger up to the world
Then turned and embraced
Every smile that passed by

Call me what you like because
I know just who I am
I'm not the same as you
Why would I want to be
I'm just me

I don't need a label to describe me
I just need people to call me by my name
I'm not the same as you
Why would I want to be
I'm just me

I've expanded my horizons
Seen far beyond the external posterior
I've had people laugh at me and also with me
Felt the cruel words
But never allowed a closed door to remain closed

I have faced life and taken when it's given me
It has nearly but never beaten me
Call me what you like
Because I know who I am
I'm just me
