I don't want to be like you

XXx....It's kind of funny...I wrote this in a very expensive restaurant!!!!

I'm here to tell you a story,
One you may not understand,
A story about success and failure,
A story about who I am.

I was born with my own identity,
But, your trying to take it from me,
I was taught to live my own way,
And to be who I want to be.

And still, your trying to smother it,
This fire that is burning bright,
Before, it use to come so easily,
Now, I'm forced to hold on tight.

You want me to believe you,
I won't answer to your call,
You want me to follow you path,
Your convinced that I won't fall.

But You see, I am not like that,
I would struggle to get away,
To block out all the actions,
And the horrid words you say.

To break free from your clutches,
And run back into the arms,
The arms that love me for who I am,
The ones that protect me from harm.

Your probably still not listening,
But, I will tell you anyway,
There is a lot of feeling's I bottled up,
And alot of things I want to say.

I want to tell you that I'm not sorry,
That I don't want to be like you,
That I don't want to act the same,
Or do the things you do.

God made me who I am,
Are you right to question what he does?
You tell me that i seem different,
But, I'm the same as I always was.

I came to tell you this,
That I am to myself, staying true,
That I am happy being me,
I don't want to be like you.
