I Know Who I Am

[swimgrl4god4eva]

I know what I know
People hate that I am right
It makes them mad
So they try to defend what is wrong

I will not handle you with kid gloves
We are not kids
We should be better then that
I rather the truth then lies

I rather you stand by me
With an open mind
Then with blinded eyes
I rather you be truthful

When I look in the mirror
I know who is looking back
She is not perfect
She has a lot of flaws
But she know who she is

I made a lot of mistakes
I learn from them
I have a long road ahead of me
But I can do it

I get down a lot
I fall to my knees
I have no strength to get up
I yell at all around me
If I can not do this alone
I never will

People like lies
Living in a fairy
Change everyone to your liking
Or change all you are for them
That is not right

I am me
I am not changing
I am strong willed
Opinionated
Stubborn
But I am ok

I rather be hated for being myself
Then loved for who I am not
Those words mean so much
Yet no one listens to them
We change all we are for other
Which is sad

We are suppose to be more
Daring to be different
Does not mean changing for someone
It means to stand apart from the crown
Do not be compromised by their ways of thinking

We never learn a lot
Making the same mistakes
Refusing to admit it
But when we do
We hate the one made us

Because we see what we are doing is wrong
We hate to admit to
We get defensive
Blaming the one who made us see

People call me stupid
Tell me my friends are not worth
I am too different to make it here
I am too different to be their friend

I am not like the rest
I refuse to be molded
I refuse to ever change
If society dislikes me
I am ok with that

I am not going to handle you with kid gloves
Look at the world
That is all we have done
Be nice and kind and sick back
Look at what it has done

Honestly is a policy no one follows
Lies are better
Ignoring things is better
But not for me

People want an even ground
Ignoring it and we be fine
But that is all lies

How do we sit back and watch as one falls?
What kind of friend does not make us?
Are we not to help one another?
When did that mean ignoring a friend in need?
Why must one call out for help before we go?

When I look in the mirror
I know who is looking back
I know all that I am
My problems and faults
I know what I want
I know where I want to go
I know what I am striving for
I know what I believe
I know what I stand for
I know who I am

Do you.....?
