I am me
I am the girl that always flashes a smile on her face
Kathleen is my name
Like everyone else, there are struggles that I face

I too, have insecurities
And it frustrates me
My shyness is what everybody sees
People stare at me
But I try not to let it get to me

A flower in my hair is my style
I wear it proud with a smile
Because I am a pacific island girl
I am not the prettiest girl
But in my mother’s eyes I am a pearl

I've been talked behind
More secrets I find
I look up to the sky
And wonder why
“Even though [I’m] fed up
I got to keep [my] head up” (Tupac)
Because I am me
And no one can take that away from me
