I am not the captain of industry. I am not the girl next door. I do not dream of going to outer space. I do not want to help the masses. I can not rise above all my peers. I can not charm the pants off of anyone. I will not break the glass ceiling. I will not play in the big leagues. I refuse to do what I should. I refuse to be whom I admire. I have no hope for world peace. I have no ***** of steel. I get no true joy from hard work. I get no chances of a lifetime. I own no true name. I own no family money. I feel no rhythm in my feet. I feel no calling to a higher purpose. I won’t respect my elders. I won’t play nice with the other kids. I am not who I wished to be when I grew up, But I keep trying because I am/have/get/own/feel/love me.

Just me
I am not the captain of industry. I am not the girl next door. I do not dream of going to outer space. I do not want to help the masses. I can not rise above all my peers. I can not charm the pants off of anyone. I will not break the glass ceiling. I will not play in the big leagues. I refuse to do what I should. I refuse to be whom I admire. I have no hope for world peace. I have no ***** of steel. I get no true joy from hard work. I get no chances of a lifetime. I own no true name. I own no family money. I feel no rhythm in my feet. I feel no calling to a higher purpose. I won’t respect my elders. I won’t play nice with the other kids. I am not who I wished to be when I grew up, But I keep trying because I am/have/get/own/feel/love me.
