Analysis of I am who I am



I am who I am
Not what you want me to be
Leave me alone with your thoughts,
Your complaints, and ideas about me
I don't care what you say
I am who I am
Nothing you do will change me
Nothing you say will hurt me
Keep your thoughts,
Complaints, and ideas
Away from me
I am who I am
Don't mess with me
I am who I am
Just accept me
