"You're just confused," they say.
"You've just forgotten the way
things are in this world, in this day."

I guess, I don't know myself,
as well as I thought I did.
I guess, I don't know myself,
quite the way I used to.
And, that, I'll get used to.
Who knew?

"This day in age", they say,
"Things've really changed in a way."
And somehow, I know,
they're right.
But so wrong,
in so many ways.

And this day in age, I stay,
on the same page as that day.
Because,
this day,
today,
I know myself better than,
I ever can,
again.

This day.
This way.
Everyday.
No matter what they say,
I'll stay this way.

And no one can tell me who I am,
or who I should be.

No one can stand up to me,
for me.
For I,
have betrayed no sense of normalcy or,
broken any rules that have been made.
Not by law or religion,
your beliefs can't make me smitten.
No one can.
But myself.
