I,
I am me,
I am me and so much more,
But that's not who society wants me to be.
Society tells me to be skinny,
But when I loose weight, it teases me for not eating.
Society tells me to look pretty,
But when I put on make-up, it tells me that I'm trying too hard.
Society tells me to wear what I want,
But when I put on shorts that reach passed my knees,
When I put on shorts because it is warm outside
It tells me that I am desperate.
And so I go back to being me.
Forget what society says.
I am me.
I am me and so much more.
I am the me that I want to be, and I won't let society tell me otherwise.

I,
I am me,

But that's not who society wants me to be.
Society tells me to be skinny,
But when I loose weight, it teases me for not eating.
Society tells me to look pretty,
But when I put on make-up, it tells me that I'm trying too hard.
Society tells me to wear what I want,
But when I put on shorts that reach passed my knees,
When I put on shorts because it is warm outside
It tells me that I am desperate.
And so I go back to being me.
Forget what society says.
I am me.
I am me and so much more.
I am the me that I want to be, and I won't let society tell me otherwise.
